    We have Dr. Scott Geller in town who claims to do a laser treatment for floaters. He is considered AFLAC in this part of the world; it if looks and smells like a duck, it must also quack!
    Someone please offer $20 and see if they take it.

    Sounds like its part of a some future marketing effort, or way to improve search rankings for the device. A clever marketing stratgey really... we are talking about it aren't we? SEO just went up 20%.

    If i read carefully it say.
    $20.00 for vitreous floaters consultation
    It explains that:
    The consultation will take about 60 minutes, including 15 minutes assessment by an optometrist and 15-30 minutes waiting time for eye drops to dilate the pupil. Afterwards the pupils will remain dilated for a few hours.

    I do not see the word treatment included for $20.00.
