AB  - BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pars plana 
      vitrectomy for symptomatic floaters. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Forty-eight vitreoretinal 
      surgeons from 16 countries provided information on 581 eyes who underwent 
      vitrectomy for floaters in this retrospective survey study conducted by European 
      VitreoRetinal Society. Percentage symptomatic improvement, incidence of retinal 
      tears/detachment and post-vitrectomy cataract surgery, and the factors associated 
      with satisfaction and complications were investigated. RESULTS: Ninety-two 
      percent were satisfied with the results, with 86.3% reporting complete resolution 
      of daily-life symptoms. Overall satisfaction was lower in patients with smaller 
      vitreous opacities at presentation (OR:0.4). Iatrogenic retinal breaks occurred 
      in 29 eyes (5%). Core vitrectomy and cut rates of 1500-4000 or >4000 cuts/min 
      were associated with lower risk of retinal breaks than complete vitrectomy 
      (OR:0.05) and cut rates < 1500 cuts/min (OR: 0.03, 0.12, respectively). Fourteen 
      eyes (2.4%) developed retinal detachment at a median of 3 months; and 84 (48.6%) 
      developed cataract at a median of 16 months post-vitrectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Pars 
      plana vitrectomy resulted in high patient satisfaction with relatively low rate 
      of severe complications in a large group of patients. The procedure may be safer 
      when core vitrectomy and cut rates > 1500 cuts/min are favoured. Proper patient 
      selection and informed consent are the most important aspects of surgery.
