Clinical characteristics and treatment willingness of outpatients with vitreous floaters: a real-world study in China.

Females (65.2% of the study population) were older (48.9 ± 13.4 years) than males (43.8 ± 14.9 years) (P < 0.001).

Myopia (median refraction - 5.00D; range: -0.50D to -14.00D) was present in 231/589 (39.2%), and myopic patients were younger (38.9 ± 12.0 years) than non-myopic patients (52.4 ± 12.8 years; P < 0.001).

Myopia prevalence was lower in females (34.9%) than males (47.3%) (P = 0.003), and lower in unilateral (35.2%) than bilateral cases (48.9%) (P = 0.002).

The fundus was normal in 420/589 (71.3%).
