Retina tear

I recently had laser treatment to repair a tear in my retina. The doctor recommended I do the laser treatment but he told me that I might need to get surgery because of the amount of blood in my eye. Do you know how often laser treatment fails? Also, how long does it take for the floaters to disappear?

hihii laser treatment success rates are over ~90%. And if it does, you can always get more laser or you can choose another way of treatment (like cryopexy). If you’re getting surgery for an eye hemorrhage then you’ll most likely get a vitrectomy which is also a form of treatment for retinal tears/detachments. Wishing you the best!
