"Vitrectomy may have complications, such as:
Retinal detachment
Retinal tears
Cataracts
The risks of such complications is small but if they occur vision can be permanently damaged. For this reason most surgeons will not perform vitrectomy unless eye floaters are causing an extraordinary visual handicap."
