it's both how many floaters and where they are located. you've "heard" of people with only one floater having a vitrectomy, so show the original poster these stories... back it up. because in reality getting one floater treated is far and few between. It's sad but it's the truth. so don't tell me I'm wrong unless you can back it up.

Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye.
It was just about too small to see.
But I watched it way too long.
That dot was pulling me down.
