What is posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)?
A posterior vitreous detachment(PVD) happens when the retina and the gel that fills the eyeball separate. The back of the eyeball is lined by a thin layer of nerve tissue called the retina. It is in charge of sensing light and converting it into visible images. After PVD, there is frequently an increase in the number of grey or black specks or shadows in your vision.
Why does PVD, or posterior vitreous detachment, occur?
The vitreous gel fills the eyeball. Water and the protein collagen make up the majority of this gel’s composition. The rear surface of the gel’s attachment to the retina degrades as you age, making it more liquid and causing the gel to separate from the retina.
PVD symptoms include:
Floaters: According to people, they appear as floating bugs, cobwebs, hairs, or dust in the range of view. Sometimes shaped like a circle or oval, called a Weiss ring.
Light streaks: PVD sufferers describe seeing light streaks, usually to the side of their vision. Flashes could be easier to see in low-light conditions.
