What can you tell me about retinal and posterior vitreous detachment?

Flashes floater veil: Normal aging: vitreous separation and traction on the retina causes retinal tears-causing vitreous floaters ; hazy vision. Laser helps to prevent the tear from progressing to a retinal detachment as fluid flows though untreated tears and the retina falls off the back of your eye-like wallpaper coming off a wall. This causes a veil in your side vision then central vision loss. It is painless.

See below: It is difficult to tell whether there is a retinal detachment by the patient him/her self when there are vitreous detachment symptoms. Flashes and floaters are warning signs, but very non-specific. If there is peripheral vision loss that progresses and closes in on central vision, than that is quite likely a retinal detachment. Especially if accompanied or presided by flashes and or floaters.

They differ: These are changes in the vitreous and retina of the eye. They both cause similar symptoms including floaters, light flashes and visual disturbances. Vitreous detachment is a normal process in middle to later age and mostly happens with no symptoms. Retinal detachment lifts the retina off its supporting underlayment, and must be corrected to prevent vision loss. When symptoms occur, get evaluat
