This. I have bilateral PVD’s. My retina guy said all the gunk would eventually dissolve.
It’s been almost fifteen years. It has not dissolved.


Well, of course—they want to sell more beef.
No. They’re talking about OCT or fundus photography. The pic with the article is a slit lamp exam, and I’m sure whoever was laying out the article looked for an open source picture of “eye exam” and that’s what they got. I’d be very surprised if this could be done with a phone. (I have a glaucoma doc and a retina doc that I’ve been seeing for thirty years. There are more pictures of my retinas out there than there are pictures of me.)
