“Is there a surgery to remove eye floaters?”

It depends on the reason for floaters. If they are very bothersome and interfere with vision, they can be surgically removed. If they are small, they can be treated with laser.

Yes, vitrectomy is a surgical procedure that removes floaters by removing the gel-like substance (vitreous) in your eye. This procedure is performed for patients who suffer from very severe symptoms of floaters that are adversely affecting their vision.

There is a surgery to remove floaters but it is more risky then it is worth. Eventually floaters will sink out of the visual axis and not be as annoying.

The surgery is called a vitrectomy, but it is reserved for very bad cases since it can cause permanent damage to the macula, which could blur (to various degrees) your vision forever. The other option not used much anymore is trying to blast apart the floaters with a laser. These are moving targets and if the surgeon misses, you have a permanent blind spot where the laser zapped the retina.

Yes, with laser and with vitrectomy. However, there are risks.

Laser

There are two current procedures available for floaters. One uses a laser and is called a YAG vitreolysis. The other is incisional surgery and is called a vitrectomy. Both are done by vitreoretinal specialists; medical doctors/ophthalmologists who have completed both a residency in ophthalmology and a fellowship in vitreoretinal disease/surgery. It is important to remember that both procedures have risks and benefits associated with them that should be discussed with your ophthalmologist.
Floaters, although many times benign, can be associated with more concerning disease processes for example a retinal tear or detachment. If you experience new onset of floaters, flashes, or decrease in vision, you should have a dilated eye exam urgently.
