Symptoms of flashing lights, reduced vision or contrast sensativity, and spiderwebs can show up. This type of large floater we discuss in this video is called a posterior vitreous detachement. Because the symptoms are similar to a retinal detachement, it is important to have an eye exam to check for any retinal holes, tears, detachements. A lot of times the treatment is to monitor to see if symptoms improve. But, there are a couple of precedures availabe to treat it, such as yag laser or a floater only vitrectomy. There are hopefully some more treatments and supplements that are being developed in the future as well. 0:00 What causes a PVD? 2:47 PVD symptoms 6:59 PVD Treatments MEDICAL ADVICE DISCLAIMER: All content in this video and description including: infor­ma­tion, opinions, con­tent, ref­er­ences and links is for infor­ma­tional pur­poses only.
