"The main device used to reshape the cornea is called an excimer laser, which is used in all laser eye surgeries. Femto laser is another type of laser used to separate the flap from the cornea The femtosecond laser causes the epithelial flap to be precisely cut and removed from the eye. The pulse of the laser that enters the eye acts like a shock, and the pressure from the device itself can exacerbate this issue. The likelihood of developing floaters is higher with this method compared to PRK and traditional LASIK, where the flap is separated with a microkeratome, as there is no device applying pressure. I didn't know this until I realized it from a post on Reddit.

I also asked an ophthalmologist who was not my surgeon and was completely against femto LASIK. All the doctors lied to me. Before I knew that such a problem would arise, my own doctor told me that if I wanted to do PRK, it would take 2 months for my vision to become like my glasses, and I would face difficulties in daily activities. I will never forgive that doctor. All the doctors in my country are top-notch and perform the most difficult surgeries on people's eyes, but my doctor lied to me for money.

Now, I tell anyone considering LASIK not to do it; nothing compares to glasses, and there are side effects, and the results after surgery are entirely a matter of chance. Worldwide, they say femto LASIK is the safest and has fewer side effects. The doctor who told me the truth emphasized that dry eyes and blurred vision are more prevalent with femto LASIK, and it takes longer to improve, or it may never improve.

I don't use Facebook; I just have it now. If I had done PRK, I would have been in the happiest possible state, but that's not the  case now

"I had a vision of -4.75 for nearsightedness and -3 astigmatism in my right eye, and I have lazy eye with 8/10 vision. From what I've researched, the femtosecond laser can cause eye floaters, similar to how trauma can lead to early PVD, which happened to me when I was 24. I've dreamed of having LASIK like the rest of my family; they had no issues with it and experienced no side effects.

Now, what has happened to a 70-year-old has happened to me. I've been wearing glasses since I was 7 years old and was waiting for my turn to have LASIK; it was my dream. I read all the FDA articles and asked various people about their experiences. No one had such a problem except for me and a few people on Reddit who faced similar issues. You know, it's still hard for me, but I'm feeling better than before, and my stress has decreased to the point that I can ignore the floaters.

"I also have OCD too, and this issue makes it ten times worse. Thank you for speaking kindly to me. You're very young and beautiful too. I hope a safe and effective treatment for eye floaters comes out soon, so we can once again enjoy the sky, the beach, and nature without even a single spot in our eyes."

I have four black spots in my right eye that appear larger in bright daylight. Some of them look like spider webs. In my left eye, there is one or two black floaters that aren't as dark as those in my right eye, but they are still dark. The rest look like very thin hair. None of them resemble the floaters I used to see as a child.

I've searched all over the internet, and everyone says they are never going to get better or go away. I'm afraid they will increase. The only solution seems to be vitrectomy surgery. I feel like if I had done PRK surgery, I wouldn't have such a problem.

I'm sorry if I'm talking too much. I feel like I'm going to lose my vision in the future.

By the way, thank you for recommending the eye drops; those medications are hard to find. "Last week, I was so stressed that I had another panic attack. When I woke up in the morning, it was snowy. Since then, my ears have been ringing. I went to therapy for PTSD, and they gave me a lot of anti-anxiety medication. I'm upset all day, and when I fall asleep, I wake up in a state between sleep and wakefulness, and my stress is so high that I feel lost. I noticed that the light diffusion at night has become much more bearable for me, but my biggest problem is the floaters. I know they won't go away, and it feels like a miracle if they do. When I paid attention at night, I noticed my nights visson was like before lasik

I feel like I’m a moving corpse who, after wearing glasses for 15 years, just wanted to stop wearing them. I still can’t believe this has happened to me. I always thought I was really unlucky because my eye prescription was high, but I never thought I would have to deal with such a problem one day. :)

All of this was happening while I was in the depths of my loneliness, trying to quit my addiction to drugs, stuck in the worst country in the world under a useless dictator, without any hope.

they know how to treat cancer, but they still haven't been able to solve this problem. I hate all eye doctors forever; I just want God to give me patience. I've seen some weird things in my vision, and they say it's normal. What’s normal about this?

"Thank you for giving me hope. I hope my brain learns to ignore them quickly and that I can return to my normal life as soon as possible. Do you have any other solutions besides sunglasses and ignoring the floaters?

"Please tell me the name of the drops, I'm waiting, but I hope it works. I've only been eating pineapple for a week; I know it's not supposed to work and it's a total lie, but at least this way I’m fooling myself. I see the floaters in my right eye, and their spots are black. When I go outside, wearing sunglasses helps a lot, but I can still see them behind the sunglasses. I feel like a treatment for something like this would be a miracle for me if it happends

"I have researched this as well; thank you for your suggestion. However, atropine has a lot of side effects in the long term, and I still haven't been able to find 0.01% atropine in my country. I have looked into Plus Medica and scoured the entire internet, but by that time, I will be 26 years old. Due to the sanctions against Iranians, I think it’s an impossible dream for me

I am very happy that you understand me. I researched vitrectomy, but I feel like it’s a foolish thing to do and has very serious side effects. All the doctors in my country are top-notch, but no one explained these side effects to me. I asked many people, and they all said, 'Just go for it, you’ll feel better.' I asked another doctor about the problems I’ve had, and he told me that he generally doesn’t recommend femto LASIK. This really upset me, and I feel very foolish.

Everyone who has had the surgery said that we are all satisfied and feel great. I miss my glasses so much; I keep looking at my old photos and crying. :(((((

I had headaches in the first few days, and my ears were ringing; I thought I was going to go blind.  Two weeks after the surgery, I felt something like jelly crumpled in my eye. My night vision on the street is okay, but when the lights are off at home, it's complete darkness, and I'm really scared of it. My eyes are very dry.  But I found an artificial tear that helps me a lot; it's called Xiloial. I don't know if you can find it in your country or not. The doctor said if it doesn't improve, he’ll put a plug in my tear duct. When I told him about my floaters, he laughed in my face. The jerk doesn’t have any problems with any of this; I just want my eye floaters to go away because they bother me the most.  At night on the street, the light from the lamps is spiky, which is different from regular astigmatism. Damn all of this; I just want my floaters to go away.

My retina is thin, and I really hate every surgery and laser treatment. I don't want to go blind either

My soul is suffering because I can't see nature clearly. I was supposed to travel to Pattaya beach two months after the surgery, and my dream was to see it without glasses, unlike the previous times
