THERAPEUTIC REFRACTIVE VITRECTOMY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF VITREOUS FLOATERS AND OPACITIES ASSESSED BY THE STANDARDIZED AND KINETIC ANATOMICAL AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF VITREOUS FLOATERS AND OPACITIES
Therapeutic refractive vitrectomy is a significant contribution for therapeutic refractive surgery as a safe and effective approach to enhancing visual quality, correcting refractive and opaque vitreous anomalies. Improvement in corrected distance visual acuity was minimal, representing limited effectiveness as a measure of comprehensive visual function. Improvements in objective straylight measures and imaging are in alignment with subjective symptom improvements post-TRV. This underscores the utility and value of new holistic evaluation methods beyond traditional metrics to assess the impact of therapeutic refractive vitrectomy on visual function and quality of life.
