Resolves Yes if by or before the end of 2024, at least one of the following is true:

Vitrectomy is considered by either medical consensus or me to be sufficiently low risk to be a routine procedure for individuals with eye floaters, or
Vitreolysis is considered by either medical consensus or me to be sufficiently low risk to be a routine procedure for individuals with eye floaters, or
There is a sufficiently safe and low-risk alternative to the above two options to be a routine operation for individuals with eye floaters.

Sort by:

'Largely risk-free' in optimal conditions (eg well-run specialist centre in a good healthcare system) or in average conditions (eg average ophthalmological centre globally)?

@WXTJ Major medical centers in the US. For reference, use Cedars-Sinai, UCLA, Stanford Health Care, UCSF Health.

If the major medical centers all refuse to operate unless you have a very severe case, then this doesn’t count.

Btw I will seriously consider arguments that vitrectomy and/or vitreolysis meet my criteria for largely risk-free. I don’t think this is currently the case, but I haven’t done much research on this.
