Abstract :

 Vitreous cysts are rare ocular malformation. It can be congenital or acquired. Congenital cysts are pigmented or non-pigmented. Acquired can occur secondary to trauma or ocular inflammation. Free floating vitreous cysts are unusual ophthalmologic findings. We present a case of 11 years old male child who has come to our OPD for routine eye examination with unaided visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes without any ocular symptoms. Detailed ophthalmic examination revealed a congenital unilateral free floating pigmented vitreous cyst in right eye. Congenital cysts with no troublesome symptoms can be left alone with periodic follow-ups.
