That's pretty brutal. Perhaps something a little less, er, horiffic?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.198.98.209 (talk • contribs) 06:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC).

OMG, I looked here because I am in need of this surgery and that photo is making me seriously consider just staying blind...terrifying.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.199.186.2 (talkcontribs) 15:31, 23 October 2006 (UTC).

I have to agree - that picture is a bit of a shocker - almost like its been put there by a troll?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.63.212.123 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC).

I'm taking a brief hiatus from editing wikipedia after seeing this. I followed a link from the Floater article, being positively amazed at the idea that it might be possible to treat that problem. Not very easy to make an objective assessment of whether it's desireable after seeing that image; so, effective obstruction of NPOV if you'll pardon the pun. At the very least, the top and bottom image should be swapped. Unfortunately, this is entirely in line with the wikipedia consensus of actively putting offensive images everywhere under the flag of "is not censored". I'd vastly prefer to be able to click on this stuff when I want to see it. Zuiram 23:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with the previous comments. Firstly, I assume the colouring of the image has made people concerned about it (Looks like a horror movie); possibly the submitter could restore the photograph to its original; not black and white state, if it has been editied. However, the photograph is of a medical nature; this is simply a photograph of the human body. It is if someone took a photograph of surgary to remove one's appendix; I think it provides a clear illustration of the technique. 58.160.151.206 04:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

My friend and I thought it would be a laugh, to perform a vitrectomy on me - now I can't see very well. But the vitreous has been removed successfully !! (It's in my left hand as we speak) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.75.37.250 (talk) 08:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
