Imaging of Vitreous Opacities in Human Eyes

Vitreous opacities (VOs), commonly known as floaters, are dark spots that appear in, and may float across your vision. Presently, there is a lack of available data in the literature regarding VOs. This study aims to obtain imaging data of VOs in the population to build an imaging database of VOs to learn more about them.
