Complications low in vitrectomy for floaters

NEW YORK — Rates of complications in vitrectomy for floaters were low in a real-world study presented at OSN New York Retina.
Brian K. Do, MD, FASRS, said data from the IRIS Registry presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting in 2024 revealed higher than expected complication rates in vitrectomy for visually symptomatic floaters, which surprised meeting attendees.
“I took this home with some of my partners, and we decided to take a look at our own practice’s data to see how our data compared,” Do, of The Retina Group of Washington, said during a presentation.
