Vitrectomy for Floaters

Show Description +

65 year old woman with 7 years of poor visual function from vitreous opacities (floaters). She had a clump of material behind her intraocular lens. The video show this material being removed with a 25 gauge vitrectomy. She was better the day after the surgery. Her other eye had vitrectomy for floaters 7 years ago for a dense posterior floater. She gave me a hug the first day after the surgery and she brought us a box of chocolates (A Whitman Sampler).
