Eye Floaters Surgical Treatment

Although we encourage natural eye floaters treatments, there are times when nature has its limits. There are currently two widely used methods to remove eye floaters surgically, both with their corresponding risks and advantages.
Laser Treatment for Eye Floaters - This procedure is very risky and does not completely eliminate eye floaters.
FoV (Floaters Only Vitrectomy) - This procedure is mostly reserved for those whose eye floaters are creating vision impairment problems. This procedure's risks definitely outweigh its advantages as up to 30% of patients who undergo this procedure develop retinal detachment or other complications.
Future Research
Although both procedures are very risky, they are being continuously researched and improved. See ongoing eye floaters research.

I am a obsessive compulsive type, some days I don't let my floaters bother me. Others I find no real reason to get up in the morning and feel like my life is ruined I can't even enjoy a hot summer day anymore.
I'm definitely going to get a vitrectomy I'm just worried and pray to god I don't have any complications, has anyone else had the surgery and had complications from this?! Thanks guys, death to all floaters! lol
