What is YAG Vitreolysis?

YAG Vitreolysis is a laser procedure that uses a specially designed YAG laser to target and vaporise eye floaters. The laser energy breaks down the collagen and hyaluronic acid molecules that make up the floaters, allowing them to dissolve into smaller, less noticeable fragments or be absorbed by the eye.
