摘要：
We report a case of 55-year-old male who experienced a downhill course following pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) for floaters and consequently developed end-stage glaucoma with severe vision loss. Elective PPV for symptomatic vitreous floaters is a controversial procedure. Though patient satisfaction with PPV is promising, potential complications arising from this procedure should be carefully considered.
