Description

Flashes and floaters is one of the most common presenting complaints to eye care professionals. And while most of us understand the general pathophysiology of the vitreous separating from the retina, some of the nuances may not be as clear. Why do flashes and floaters persist so differently in patients? Why do flashes and floaters continue even after a vitrectomy? How common are retinal tears when one experiences new symptoms? And how, ultimately, should this affect our guidelines for monitoring patients who have new flashes and floaters? Dr. Efrem Mandelcorn joins the podcast.
