Floaters & Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) Care

Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) is a common, age-related eye condition that occurs when the vitreous gel—the clear, jelly-like substance inside your eye—begins to shrink and separate from the retina. This natural change often results in floaters, which are small specks or cobweb-like shapes that appear to drift across your vision.

What Are Floaters?

Floaters are tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous that cast shadows on the retina. You may notice them more when looking at a bright background like a clear sky or a white wall. They can be mildly distracting but are typically harmless.

When to Be Concerned

While PVD and floaters are common and usually not dangerous, it's crucial to know when to seek immediate care. You should contact your eye doctor right away if you experience:

A sudden increase in floaters
Flashes of light in your vision
A dark curtain or shadow that moves across your field of vision
Any vision loss

These symptoms could indicate a retinal tear or detachment, which requires urgent attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
