Introduction:
Vitreous floaters are a common visual phenomenon experienced by many individuals at some point throughout their lives. In a review of 603 smartphone users, 76% (n=458) indicated that they notice floaters, 33% of those indicated that their floaters caused noticeable visual impairment.1 The primary etiologies of vitreous opacities are posterior vitreous detachments and vitreous syneresis, often related to myopia.2 While most vitreous opacities are benign and have minimal impact on daily function, some patients experience significant visual disturbances impairing their quality of life. This raises pertinent questions regarding the identification of candidates for treatment and the selection of appropriate therapeutic interventions.
