If i develop posterior vitreous detachment, how will it be treated?

Observation: This is a usually silent, natural process beginning in middle age in which the vitreous gel, liquefies, and a portion of the gel can lift off from the adjacent retina. In some there are weak attachments and there will be symptoms such as floaters, light flashes and a cellophane type pattern in the vision. As retinal detachment can cause similar symptoms, if this happens see your ophthalmologist.

Get eyes dilated: Usually this is benign as long as the adjacent retina is ok.

Rule out retina hole: Typical vitreous detachments are a normal aging process of the jelly in the vitreous cavity. If you develope floaters and/or flashes you should seek the care of an ophthalmologist to evaluate you for a retinal tear or hole or a retinal detachment. If no problems are found no treatment is needed. The floaters usually subside, to the most part, over weeks and months but may not totally go away.
