Is it Time to Reconsider Vitrectomy for Symptomatic Vitreous Opacities?

Show Description +

In the inaugural episode of Innovations in Surgical Retina, a panel of experts tackle a question that has arisen around the management of symptomatic vitreous opacities (SVO): If small-gauge instrumentation equates to safer and more efficient surgery, should retina surgeons consider operating earlier to help address a significant quality of life issue? Maria Berrocal, MD, details how she used 27G instruments in a patient with asteroid hyalosis to demonstrate the need to rethink surgical indications in SVO.
