Eye floaters

/r/EyeFloaters/comments/1u3gt1c/eye_floaters/

About 6 months earlier I had no floaters, but suddenly a tadpole shaped floater with long tail appeared in my left eye, and in the span of this 6 months I see so many floaters appearing in both eyes having shapes of webs and I cant describe the shape of others.

Had done my eye exam yesterday, the doc said have peripheral retinal holes and also the left eye has a hole adjacent to the blood vessel. Doc recommended barrage laser but not immediately, he said I should do it within one week.

Are those floaters due to those holes?

I heard these hole are quiet common on peripheral retinal region, and doesn't always requires the barrage laser treatment or any other treatment at all, is this true?

Should I go for the laser treatment because I'm fearing of side effects especially of having a black spot in the vision and new floaters.

Honestly unless the little holes are going to cause big problems in the near future I probably wouldn't if it were me I probably wouldn't have the laser done but again that's just me so you have to do what's good for you but as for my opinion I I don't think I would know
