摘要
Emerging evidence has suggested that the entoptic phenomena associated with vitreous opacities (i.e. vitreous floaters) are more bothersome than previously believed. In addition, the prevalence of vitreous floaters is likely increasing due to the evolving global pandemic of myopia. The use of YAG laser vitreolysis for the treatment of annoying vitreous floaters has attracted significant attention in recent years as the technique offers a number of potential advantages. Unfortunately, the currently available evidence that is needed to guide clinical practice is both very limited and contradictory. As a consequence, the technique remains highly controversial. A review of the existing literature sheds light on patient- and treatment-related factors that may significantly affect both the effectiveness and the safety of the procedure. The current article discusses important aspects of key publications on the topic, offers suggestions for clinical practice, and highlights unmet needs that should be addressed by future research.
