Patient's question:
Recently, Dad told me he's been feeling like there are dark shadows when he looks at things, and that when he looks at white things, it seems like something is moving. He started thinking that Dad's vision was getting worse due to old age and took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, which revealed vitreous opacity. Can vitreous opacity be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
How cataracts require surgery for symptoms and the degree of impact on vision. Mild cataracts do not require surgery because normal people can also have cataracts, and with age, most people will experience them again, especially myopic patients who may experience them again in their youth. If there are abnormal symptoms, and the effect of drug treatment is not good, surgical treatment can be considered. However, for specific conditions, it is recommended to consult an ophthalmologist before choosing the best treatment method.
