How long does it take to complete vitreous detachment to pvd full cycle in young high myope population, is da process cycle faster in young myopes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Full cycle?: The natural progression of vitreous detachment is simple in that the vitreous attachment come off the area of attachment where the retina ends. The vitreous contracts tugging on the retina, causing flashing light symptoms. This usually resolve and the vitreous floater can get smaller. Not really a cycle! timing is person to person, - can be days to weeks, high myopia is a risk factor
