Demographics and ophthalmological outcomes of eyes with the first occurrence of acute subjective vitreous floaters that developed within a month. *SD-OCT data for 106 eyes (54%) of the total cohort were available.

M male, F female, pts patients, BCVA best-corrected visual acuity, logMAR the logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution, SE spherical equivalents, D diopter, IOP intraocular pressure, CMT central macular thickness, pRNFL peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer, pVO peripapillary vitreous opacity, UWF ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, PVD posterior vitreous detachment, SD-OCT spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
