Clinical Information About Posterior Vitreous Detachment:

Posterior Vitreous Detachment is the term used by medical professionals to refer to an eye condition characterized by the separation of the eye’s vitreous gel from the retina.

The purpose of vitreous gel is to help maintain the round shape of our eyes and vision clarity, plus help protect the eye from eye damage. However, as we age, the vitreous gel decreases in viscosity/thickness, and it will detach from the retina (Posterior Vitreous Detachment).

When vitreous gel detaches from the retina, a person may experience the following symptoms:

• They become more sensitive to light and prone to flashes 
• Their vision might become temporarily blurred
• They will see specks of black or gray in their vision, known as floaters
