Any one havie a longterm visual problem with posterior vitreous detachment of the eye?

Possibly: It is possible though very unlikely that someone may have a retinal tear after or during a posterior vitreal detachment that leads to a retinal detachment. If you experience sudden onset floaters, flashing lights or decreased vision, seek immediate eye care.
