EYE FLOATER TREATMENT CENTER Eye floaters can range from the merely annoying to the visually disabling. Treatment of eye floaters is our speciality. The South Florida Eye Foundation / South Florida Eye Clinic has been treating eye floaters for 20 years.  Scott Geller MD, a Board Certified Ophthalmologist, pioneered and perfected laser treatment of eye floaters. He presented his first series of successful cases at the International Congress of Ophthalmology in Singapore, 1989.  Dr. Geller has the largest and longest series of patients treated with laser in the world.

Laser has helped thousands of people. It is a reasonable alternative to vitrectomy, an operation that is available if laser can't help.
