DVS and quality of life
In the latest issue of the American Journal of Ophthalmology, Wagle and associates present interesting new information about the negative impact symptomatic degenerative vitreous floaters have on the quality of life of sufferers.
As Sebag notes in his discussion article in the same edition, investigators found that these patients were willing to take an 11% risk of death and a 7% risk of blindness to get rid of symptoms related to floaters.
