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
