Question about vitreous detachment? is there treatment for pvd?

No: There is no treatment for simple vitreous floaters. Please see your eye doctor for further information and have a nice day!

No: New or worse floaters and/or flashing lights in your vision can be a pvd; however, there may also be a retinal tear or retinal detachment. So one must have an urgent dilated retinal exam to rule out the more serious complications. Vitrectomy can be done to remove eye floaters from a pvd, but this is usually too invasive a procedure for this condition.
