Some symptoms: Like flashing resolve in 4-6 weeks, typically. Others, like floaters, may never resolve. You get used to them.

4-6 weeks; yes: Most often PVD takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete, but that time can vary greatly from instant to more than one year. Once the vitreous detaches, it does not ever reattach. There would be no advantage to the patient if it did.
