Symptoms & Causes of Posterior Vitreous Detachment
Symptoms of Posterior Vitreous Detachment
- Floaters: Small, shadowy shapes that appear to float across your field of vision are the most common symptom of PVD. These floaters are caused by tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous that cast shadows on the retina.
- Flashes of Light: Sudden flashes or streaks of light, especially in peripheral vision, may occur as the vitreous pulls away from the retina.
- Blurring or Distortion of Vision: Some individuals may experience temporary blurring or distortion of vision, particularly in the early stages of PVD.
- Sudden Increase in Symptoms: A rapid increase in floaters, flashes, or the appearance of a curtain over your vision can indicate a retinal tear or detachment, requiring immediate medical attention.
Causes of Posterior Vitreous Detachment
PVD is primarily associated with the natural aging process, but several factors can contribute to its development.
- Aging: As we age, the vitreous gel naturally begins to liquefy and shrink, leading to a higher risk of PVD. Most cases occur in individuals over the age of 65.
- Myopia (Nearsightedness): Individuals with myopia are at a higher risk of developing PVD at a younger age due to the elongated shape of their eyes, which can cause more strain on the vitreous.
- Eye Surgery or Trauma: Previous eye surgeries, such as cataract removal, or trauma to the eye can increase the likelihood of PVD.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Certain inflammatory conditions affecting the eye can also contribute to the early onset of PVD.
