Laser Treatment for Eye Floaters | Marano Eye Care

Eye floaters appear as spots, strings, cobwebs, or dark specks that drift across your vision. They often move when your eyes move and seem to dart away when you try to look at them directly. Most floaters develop as part of the natural aging process, when the vitreous—the clear, gel‑like substance inside the eye—begins to liquefy.

As the vitreous breaks down, microscopic fibers can clump together and cast tiny shadows on the retina. These shadows are what you perceive as floaters.

While many floaters are harmless and fade over time, some can become disruptive or visually disabling. If floaters are interfering with your daily activities, it may be time to consider treatment. At Marano Eye Care, we offer Laser Floater Treatment (LFT)—a safe, non‑invasive option for patients whose floaters are affecting their quality of vision.

How Laser Floater Treatment Works

For years, the only way to remove problematic floaters was through invasive surgery to remove the vitreous. Laser Floater Treatment provides a modern, non‑surgical alternative.

During LFT, your ophthalmologist uses a specialized laser to precisely target and break apart floaters within the vitreous. This process:

• Reduces the size and density of floaters

• Makes them less noticeable

• Improves clarity and visual comfort

The procedure is painless, performed in‑office, and requires little to no recovery time. Most patients notice improvement shortly after treatment. Marano Eye Care offers LFT conveniently at all three of our locations across Morris and Essex County, NJ.

Preparing for Your Appointment

If floaters are impacting your vision, meeting with one of our ophthalmologists is the best next step. To make the most of your visit, consider bringing:

• A list of your symptoms

• Questions you’d like to discuss

• A list of current medications

• Notes on when the floaters began

• Information about how floaters affect your daily life

Being prepared helps your doctor determine whether LFT is the right treatment and allows us to create a personalized care plan.
