If i saw retina doc twice and general ophthalmologist twice for pvd why do i have to go again for new glasses?

Retina and vision: Your retina is essential for vision and was likely in distress with your history, multiple recent visits. Hopefully your retinal issues are now stable. Please take your medications. Vision enhancement with glasses is now the problem at hand. Ok to go for new glasses. Enjoy your sight.

You do not!: Follow up as recommended for the pvd. It sounds like you have been examined enough for the PVD unless you are still having changing symptoms. You only need to be seen for glasses if you want new glasses and they did not already check you for them.

Saw retina specialist yesterday for tons of new gnatlike floaters. I had a PVD about 9 years ago in that eye and was told it was complete. Doc did OCT told me my diagnosis was PVD that he saw new vitreous seperation on my scan. Is this possible?
Had PVD 4 years ago. Recently had a new black floater so saw optho for dilated exam and OCT which were normal. Would these tests have picked up retinal or macular problems. The floater has disappeared now and doc said it was debris. Thoughts please?
Eye doc said half pvd occurred - few vitreous areas have come off the retina but not fully. How long will it take at my age for a complete pvd?
