When I was the first time there I did not had a clue who was there because of floaters...but the second time around I can clearly say that including me there we 4 others at the same day who had a FOV. It were older people. I was the youngest. 20 a year seems a little bit weird to me since I spoke with Dr Stalmans and he said to me that Vitrectomies are done also for other eyesurgeries which not even have the floater symphtoms.
He said a FOV is one of the most easiest things to do and he did not want to be a famous FOV doctor cause is profession surpasses that.
He also told me he could not understand why it's not being done more and would state in a confrence in Germany that more countries should do this cause time changes and we get better in these type of things. He knows other doctors can do it to. But the health system in Belgium works different.
They get payed for every suregery they do. So the more the better. And if they do a good job people will talk about and more come...so more money.....
In the netherlands is some cases a surgeon gets payed for 10 surgeries a year . so if he does 12 or 11 he still gets payed 10. That's his salary for the year....payed over months. So in this case a surgeon does the most critical surgeries and will skip the floaters cause your not getting blind from it.
This is in a lot of countries for specific things the case and than they tell you .... they do not do it for you cause you can get blind. they make you scared so they don't have to do it. Sounds harsch but it is the case. Not in all things but with vitrectomy it is ;-)
