Do you have something floating in your eye, bothering you to distraction? Although many doctors believe the procedure is unnecessary, there are a few ophthalmologists who will zap your floaters with a laser. Dr. John Karickhoff of Falls Church, Virginia has been using this technique for 15 years with a better than 90% success rate. He’s careful about who he treats, saying most people don’t need their floaters removed, but there are people with extreme cases. I noticed more stringy bits in my eye during pregnancy and they’ve remained there, but I successfully ignore them most of the time.
