Background
Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common age-related condition in which the vitreous gel that fills the eye separates from the retina. It typically occurs in individuals over age 50, with increasing prevalence in older populations and those with myopia or after eye surgery [1]. While usually benign, it can occasionally lead to serious complications such as retinal tears or detachment [2].
Clinical Features
- Sudden onset of floaters (black spots, cobwebs)
- Flashes of light (photopsia), especially in peripheral vision
- A curtain or shadow in the visual field (if associated with retinal tear/detachment)
- Blurred vision or mild visual disturbances
- Often asymptomatic in early stages or in less dramatic detachments
