Can a vitreous detachment happen after having a lens implanted for distance?

---

I had a lens for distance put in my left eye, two days ago I saw a flash of light then a spider like screen. My vision is now not as good as it was. Can this be corrected?
I had a posterior vitreous detachment a couple of years ago & was told it is more common in people who are short-sighted. My vision in that eye is now kind of cloudy in spots with a couple of big floaters that are really distracting & annoying. I was told they might go away & might not; well, apparently it's 'not'. I don't think a dr. will correct it unless it is extreme, the fact that they cause you to ignore slight movement in your peripheral vision (thereby possibly posing a safety hazard) doesn't seem relevant. Anyway, see your dr. to make sure that's all it was & good luck.  (+ info)

My aunt is suffering form Vitreous Detachment - what are the chances that she might lose her vision?

---

she has noticed floaters or cobwebs in her right eye, but no light flashes as yet. The ophthalmologist has given her medication and believes that it will become ok in the next 6 or 7 weeks. But my aunt is scared like hell that it may lead to permanent loss of vision (at least in her right eye). Do you think she is being too unnecessarily afraid, or is she correct in her fears?
98% of vitreous detachments have no long term consequences for the eyes, barring any residual floaters.

2% of vitreous detachments also have early retinal detachments, which is why all sudden "floaters and flashes" need checking, to pick up that 2% and deal with it.

Once that's been checked for and passed OK. there really is little to worry about.
In the absence of sudden new symptoms, no action or treatment is required.
The eyes can get into trouble for other reasons as they age, but once having had a vitreous detachment, the eye is not more vulnerable as a result.  (+ info)

Vitreous Detachment - do the black floaters, cobwebs ever settle down or go away. They are driving me crazy. ?

---

My doctor confirmed that I did not have any kind of retinal tear, etc but the cobwebs and floaters are driving me nuts. If you have had this or have this, do the floaters ever settle down. They are so distracting. My husband says his is worse in the morning and they never go away.
try this site, it might help, as it is very informative:

How long does a vitreous detachment usually last?

---

Once formed, it is there. However your awareness does fade. If you mean light flashes, only until the detachment is complete. I had one that gave me light flashes for six months and others that never flashed. However, when tired, they do become more noticeable.  (+ info)

is posterior vitreous detachment with minor isolated photopsia in a 20 year old cause for concern?

---

heard its normal for people over 50 but im 20 is this cause to be concerned. im pretty sure this is what happened as i had three bright flashes of light in my peripheral vision within 30 minutes. but it hasnt happened again and no floaters or cloudy vision
a person that diagnoses themselves, has a fool for a patient. suggest you see an ophthalmologist and get checked out.  (+ info)

Anyone else out there with vitreous detachment?

---

How long will the light flashes last, I'm going insane!
until u have retinal tear or detachment. (the traction on the retina caused by attached vitrous stops,which causes the stimulation of retina causing flashes of light)
u must undergo a surgery to prevent tearing and detachment of the retina (vitrectomy) which leads to visual loss.  (+ info)

what are the symptoms of vitreous haemorrhage and retina detachment after retrobulbar injection?

---

will there be redness of the eye along with swelling and severe pain if the eye if globe is perforated leading to vitreous haemmorrahge and retina detachment?
The signs and symptoms are pretty much the same for both conditions. For a vitreous hemorrhage, there will be a sudden loss of vision and floaters or spots seen in the vision. Keep in mind that it's not actually the vitreous humor that is leaking out. That material is clear in color. What is happening is bleeding from the rential blood vessels in choroid layer of the eye. If bleeding occurs from the iris in the eye, then blood will be present in the vitreous humor. For a retinal detachment, there will be a painless loss of vision. Patients report seeing cobwebs, floaters, or a curtain-like mass in the eyes. This is a serious condition and needs treated. What happens is the retina seperates from surrounding eye socket and is free floating only to be attached by the optic nerve. To treat this, the doctor will attempt to dilate the eye causing the pressure to rise and force the eye to expand and swell so that it reattaches to the outter wall. Please seek help if you have ANY changes in your vision after your injection.  (+ info)

Retinal and Posterior Vitreous Detachment?

---

Does getting Posterior Vitreous Detachment automatically mean you will one day get retinal detachment?
No. And also if you get lots of floaters suddenly, check with your ophthalmologist. There are also surgeries that can be done to repair a detachment before it's complete.

Did anybody get floaters in an eye go away after vitreous detachment? If yes how.?

---

I am 48 and nearsiighted.
They usually don't go away. However in some cases with time they may move to some peripheral part.  (+ info)

If I have a vitreous gel detachment of my eye, can my vision be slightly off color or grey?

---

Having a PVD can cause lots of visual disturbances. PVD's happen to everyone at some point in their lives, usually between the 50's and 60's. The floaters may come and go, but they will never leave the eye. Watch out for a sudden burst of thousands of floaters, like pepper in your vision, or for a veil or curtain in your peripheral vision. This could be a retinal detachment.  (+ info)
