BARCELONA, Spain — In this Healio Video Perspective from the Euretina congress, Paulo-Eduardo Stanga, MD, speaks in favor of treating vitreous floaters and opacities.

Patients with vitreous floaters are usually dismissed and told they need to get used to them, but according to Stanga, these floaters can be successfully treated with either laser vitreolysis or selective vitrectomy.

“We have to remember that vitreous floaters can have a significant impact not only on visual function but also on the mental health of patients,” he said.
