If you have had YAG laser treatment for floaters, do you think it has made them?

I had one eye (the worst) treated 4x and the other 2x.  I'm almost 60 and have pvd in both eyes. 

Both eyes are better (but not perfect), and sight overall is substantially improved. But it's only been a few days since treatment.

This poll is probably not too helpful since it doesn't scale for tjhe significant factors of age, cause, and time since treatment... but still fun to do. 

I have had several YAG treatments on both eyes.  The right eye is worse.  I think my problem is that the condition continues to deteriorate so it is difficult to assess how sucessful YAG laser treatment has been.  A year ago my right eye was severely affected but my left eye was fine, but now I have several floaters in my left eye too. Two YAG treatment has  had little effect on my left eye.  With my right eye I had a dramatic improvement with the first treatment. My understanding was that I had a large lacuna (bubble basically) which the YAG laser sorted.  Since then I have have 5-6 separate treatments on my right eye with only marginal improvements each time.  I am to wait 6 months now to see if there is some natural settling and improvement.  I do believe that having the treatment makes you very much more aware of your floaters for some time afterwards as you constantly try and work out whether there is any improvement.  For the moment I am trying to live with them as best I can and hope for no further deterioration.  I certainly think that YAG laser is worth trying, if you are a suitable candidate; it is a simple painless procedure. 

After 3 treatments on the same eye, spaced evenly over a 2 month period, I concluded that YAG had made my symptoms marginally worse - say, about 10%, so it was worth the risk. My treatment was NOT conducted via a Karickhoff or Goldmann intermediary lens, but rather directly into the eye, with approximately 400 shots on each visit.

For all that I passionately believe that YAG can be the true solution for floaters. Perhaps the answer lies in how and where the shots are administered and the position of the patient, The typical view is to sit the patient with head in the "normal" vertical position. Instinct tells me that if the laser were fired upwards then the floaters would be better positioned to break up on contact - and stay that way. It's only patient instinct - but surely that counts for something?

I ended up having a FOV operation on my worse eye, which has been a success. That said, I wouldn't want to go through it again nor see anyone else have to; it is a big risk and recovery from the wounds can be slow.

I wonder if YAG can somehow be administered through the sclera rather than through the lens? maybe the charge just bounces back or fails in such a case, but it would surely be worth perfecting such a technique. After all, vitrectomies aren't performed through the lens.

I'm willing to give my time and effort to finding a cure for this debilitating condition. It is underestimated and misunderstood by so many.

Many thanks to OCV for pursuing an answer. More pace is needed and more surgeons should talk to one another. A world vitreous degeneration conference is needed.
