Suggest Treatment For 2 BROs Disease

My question would require a retina specialist. I have hypertension for the past 12 years. It is under control with medication. My problem is i have suffered 2 BRVOs in my right eye due to which i hv floaters in the eye which obstruct vision. After the first BRVO i had laser treatment done and also took 2 injections in the eye . I was told that the laser treatment and injections r some kind of preventive measure only against further deterioration. They r neither a guarantee against it happening again, nor a cure for what has occurred. I have been advised to go thru the same treatment again after the second BRVO also. I would like to know 1. If the floaters in my eye can be removed/minimised in any way. 2) The laser is more painful, than it seems worth. Should i go thru it all over again. It seems pointless to me. In-fact there is a doubt if in-fact the second BRVO could have been caused by vessels weakened by the first laser treatment. Pls advise.
