Wondering if anyone has had an FOV, Floaters Only Vitrectomy

To all: I'm getting a call from my professor ophthalmologist today. Besides the “ degenerative vitreous “ is there, was there another medical names, terms, dx’s that we're mentioned in this thread?
I'm not going to self DX but I want to report my activity including report what I read here.
My doctor suggested that I reconnect with this Mayo site to ask about the possibility that it's the Mayo clinic that I heard about with a department and or group of doctors who welcome and invite patients with anything after no other hospital, doctor, or team can't figure out what is effecting a HB ( Human Being ) it might have been Mayo, John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic or some other University Hospital that was taken on the unsolveable problems.
If anyone knows if it's Mayo or another group please advise.
Much thanks to all.

@Stuckonyou, I believe all of the institutions you named and large university medical centers are the best places to go when you have a condition that remains undiagnosed or unresolved locally. As a major referral center, Mayo Clinic sees many patients who seek a second opinion — and for good reason. In a recent study, Mayo researchers found that as many as 66 percent of these patients have their original diagnosis refined and in 21 percent of cases, changed. See this article: https://www.mayoclinic.org/giving-to-mayo-clinic/philanthropy-in-action/features-stories/the-value-of-a-second-opinion
Mayo Clinic specializes in being able to diagnose where others have failed. Here's more info about Mayo and requesting a second opinion. https://www.mayoclinic.org/answers
