Free-floating unilateral pigmented vitreous cyst in a child.
Free-floating vitreous cysts have been ocular curiosities, especially in children. Various etiologies have been proposed. Most of these cysts are asymptomatic except for subtle symptoms of visual floaters. When the visual axis is obscured, treatment options include surgery and laser treatment. We report a case of a unilateral pigmented vitreous cyst in a child.
