Posterior vitreous detachment
From Ganfyd
In middle age, the vitreous humour commonly becomes detached from the retina. This is of little account, but distinguishing it from a retinal detachment may pose a problem.
 | Mid to high myopes are at higher risk than others for retinal tears and detachments shortly following a PVD |
The process tends to generate floaters and if it pulls on a blood vessel it may produce a small bleed.
