111. Floaterectomy

Vitreous condensations causing floaters are common, particularly in patients with a PVD.  While the vast majority of patients can be observed, floaters in a subset of patients can be visually significant, interfering with daily visual function and activities of daily living.  In today’s case, guest surgeon Dr. Omar Shakir performs a 27 gauge vitrectomy for a patient with symptomatic floaters that are interfering with work duties.  At the end of the case we will discuss the evaluation, management options and surgical considerations for patients with significant vitreous floaters.
