Symptomatic vitreous opacities (SVO, "floaters") in the mobile, aging vitreous that substantially interfere with daily visual activities (DVA) constitute degenerative vitreous syndrome (DVS). DVS is best distinguished from common "nuisance" floaters by use of "floater stories" written by presenting patients describing their symptoms. Here I discuss why vitreous opacity vitrectomy, though curative, has been adopted only belatedly and is still controversial, and I describe my long-term experience with its use for this disease.
在可移动的、老化的玻璃体中出现的有症状的玻璃体混浊(SVO,“飞蚊症”),如果严重干扰日常视觉活动(DVA),则构成退行性玻璃体综合征(DVS)。通过让就诊患者撰写描述其症状的“飞蚊症故事”,DVS能很好地与常见的“烦扰性”飞蚊症区分开来。在此,我将探讨为什么玻璃体混浊玻璃体切除术虽然具有治愈性,但采用得较晚且仍存在争议,并且我将描述我长期使用该手术治疗这种疾病的经验。
