AB  - To describe the eyes with vitreous floaters and to analyze the development of 
      acute symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). A retrospective review of 
      medical records was performed on patients with the vitreous floater developed for 
      the first time of their life. Peripapillary vitreous opacity (pVO) was searched 
      in Ultra-wide field (UWF) scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and PVD stage was 
      assessed through spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). 196 
      patients (55 males and 141 females), who were 58.4 (+/- 9.1) years old, visited a 
      retinal clinic 9.4 (+/- 9.1) days after they experienced vitreous floaters. In 196 
      eyes, pVO was noticed in 122 eyes (62.2%) at UWF. In 106 eyes where SD-OCT data 
      were available, PVD was noticed in 100 eyes (94.3%). Symptomatic eyes showed more 
      advanced stage of PVD (p < 0.001) than symptom free eyes. Eyes with floaters were 
      more myopic (- 0.7 +/- 2.2D vs - 0.5 +/- 1.9D, p = 0.02), and had lower intraocular 
      pressure (IOP) (14.7 +/- 3.2 mmHg vs 15.2 +/- 3.0 mmHg, p = 0.02) than the other 
      symptom free eyes. In patients with first floater symptoms, PVD was in progress 
      in most of the eyes not only the symptomatic eyes but also on the contralateral 
      symptom free eyes. Eyes with vitreous floaters were more myopic and had lower IOP 
      than the opposite symptom free eyes.
