VMR Floaters Treatment Highlighted in Review of Ophthalmology

22 Aug VMR Floaters Treatment Highlighted in Review of Ophthalmology

At VMR, we began to pay closer attention to vitreous floaters in 2011¹ and developed better ways to evaluate sufferers. Because of our sustained success in pioneering methods to identify patients who would benefit from limited vitrectomy (removal of the gel in the center of the eye) to cure eye floaters (first documented in 2014²), the Review of Ophthalmology has highlighted our work in this 2020 publication. The long-term safety and efficacy has also been shown.³

Many of the photos were contributed by the VMR Institute for Vitreous Macula Retina in Huntington Beach, California.
