Yeah, I went to see a guy who could do that. He told me that he could zap a big ball but not a bunch of cobwebs, which is what I have. It's like egg drop soup in there, I can see dozens moving around 100% of the time. There's a surgery you can have where they suck out all the fluid in your eye and replace it with saline, but I'm not quite ready for that yet. I'll probably get there at some point, though. I have "naturally degenerative" eyes and they say it will only get worse.
