A minor correction: The use of the YAG laser on eye floaters doesn't dissolve, them, but vaporizes and ablates the material. Most retina specialists are quite reluctant to perform the surgical vitrectomy due to its risk profile. The laser procedure, although less efficient, is also non-invasive and lower risk.
