It depends on why you are having it. If it's just for floaters, no, I don't think so. If it's because of neo-vascular hemorrhaging, then probably. I can't tell you what they are, but there are many factors at work here. Unfortunately for some, it makes little diference. Their vision and maybe even eye are going no matter what. Generally it is a very successful, vision saving procedure.

Qualifications: I have a cousin that's a nurse practitioner.
