| Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common age-related condition in which the vitreous gel that fills the eye separates from the retina. It typically occurs in individuals over age 50, with increasing prevalence in older populations and those with myopia or after eye surgery <ref> Byer, N. E. (1994). Natural history of posterior vitreous detachment with early management as the premier line of defense against retinal detachment. Ophthalmology, 101(9), 1503–1513. </ref>. While usually benign, it can occasionally lead to serious complications such as retinal tears or detachment <ref> Foos RY, Wheeler NC. Posterior vitreous detachment. Ophthalmology. 1982;89(12):1502–1512. </ref>. | |
