Our results show that straylight values decreased signif- icantly following vitrectomy. The straylight value of most eyes returned into the normal range. The impressive de- crease in straylight may explain the previously described uniformly high satisfaction of patients undergoing this pro- cedure.1 If validated in prospective studies, quantifying straylight may be valuable to help understand the subjective complaints of glare disability in patients with floaters. We believe that in carefully selected individuals, vitrectomy may be effective in decreasing glare. Straylight measure- ment can guide clinician and patient in the often difficult decision on surgical treatment of floaters.
