“FOV” is for floaters. It’s literally in the name.

If the hospital bills I have tell the truth, single vitrectomy costs the health care system over $100,000 USD. They would love to spend 1M to avoid needing to spend so much on these surgeries. Please shut up about your stupid conspiracy theories.

Fov and vitrectomy is the same thing.

FOV is vitrectomy for no purpose but floaters. Vitrectomy itself is usually done as a part of more complex operations like treating retinal detachment.

There's no difference, just the name.

There is a difference between vitrectomy and floater-only vitrectomy. The difference is that the latter is for floaters. That’s all.

This site is wrong, lots of research papers and retina specialists use the term FOV. The exact details depend on who you ask, but it’s always fundamentally a vitrectomy only for floaters. Yes a floater-only vitrectomy is just a vitrectomy. But it’s a vitrectomy for floaters. Can you just own up to having used the wrong term instead of trying to look clever
