Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD)<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0Posterior Vitreous Detachment<\/span><\/h2>\n

The inside of the eyeball is filled with a transparent gel-like substsance called \u201cvitreous\".\nAs we get older, the vitreous fluid loses its gely form and starts to shrink. Due to this\nshrinkage, the vitreous separates from the posterior wall of the eye. This separation is\ncalled \"Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD)\u201c. PVD usually occurs in old ages, after eye\ninjuries, in high myopia, in some hereditary diseases, and in people who previously had\neye surgeries.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the symptoms of Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD)?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Floating spots, particles, spider webs, especially noticed when looking at white, bright\nsurfaces<\/span>
\n\u2022 Flashes of light (may be visible when the eye is open or closed)<\/span><\/p>\n

Posterior Vitreous Detachment is not the same as retinal detachment caused by tears and\nholes in the retina. However, the risk of rupture and retinal detachment increases slightly\nduring the formation of Posterior Vitreous Detachment, and especially in the first 12\nmonths after it occurs. Therefore, a patient with symptoms of Posterior Vitreous\nDetachment must have a retinal examination.<\/span><\/p>\n

If retinal detachment has occurred and not treated within a short time, it may result in\nvision loss. Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of retinal detachment. These\nsymptoms are:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 Flashes of light are felt when the eye is open or closed (as in Posterior Vitreous\nDetachment)<\/span>
\n\u2022 The sudden increase of floaters<\/span>
\n\u2022 Gray-black screen developing from any direction in the visual field<\/span>
\n\u2022 Blur or vision loss that does not pass with blinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

If one or more of the above symptoms are present, a retinal examination should be taken\nimmediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

RETINAL DETACHMENT<\/span><\/h2>\n

As a result of the shrinkage of the vitreous fluid filling the inside of the eyeball, this gel-like\nliquid is separated from the posterior wall of the eyeball. This condition is called Posterior\nVitreous Detachment. During the formation of Posterior Vitreous Detachment, tears and\nholes may occur in the retina in some cases. The symptoms of retinal tears are almost the\nsame as in the Posterior Vitreous Detachment mentioned in the previous section. After\nthe retinal tear occurs, intraocular fluid passes through the tear between the retina and\nthe underlying wall and causes a disease called \"retinal detachment\".<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are the Symptoms of Retinal Detachment?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Retinal detachment is a disease that need to be treated urgently since it can result in\nvision loss. Therefore, its symptoms are important. These symptoms are:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Flashes of light are felt when the eye is open or closed (as in Posterior Vitreous\nDetachment)<\/span>
\n\u2022 The sudden increase of floaters<\/span>
\n\u2022 Gray-black screen developing from any direction in the visual field<\/span>
\n\u2022 Blur or vision loss that does not pass with blinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

If one or more of the above symptoms are present, a retinal examination should be taken\nimmediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is extremely important to detect retinal rupture early and treat it before retinal\ndetachment develops. Symptoms of retinal tears are flashes of light and floaters. If these\nsymptoms occur, a retinal examination should be performed urgently.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the Treatment of Retinal Tears?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If retinal detachment has developed, a surgical treatment is required. The surgery method\nis determined depending on the number, size, location, shape and duration of the retinal\ntears.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment of Retinal Tear with Laser<\/span><\/h1>\n

TREATMENT OF RETINAL TEARS WITH LASER<\/span><\/h2>\n

If retinal detachment has developed, a surgical treatment is required. The surgery method\nis determined depending on the number, size, location, shape and duration of the retinal\ntears.<\/span><\/p>\n

SCLERAL BUCKLING METHOD<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is the oldest method used to treat Retinal Detachment. To coincide with the retinal tear\narea, a piece of hard silicone is placed on the outer wall of the eyeball, and the retinal tear\nis closed from the outside with this application. When the retinal tear is closed with this\nexternal application, retinal detachment fluid (fluid accumulating under the retina) is\nabsorbed by the eye in a short time and healing is completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

VITRECTOMY<\/span><\/h2>\n

If there are many tears and holes that cause retinal detachment, if they are large, if their\nlocation is different from the usual, if the tears cannot be detected, if there are other\naccompanying diseases (such as intraocular bleeding) or if some time has passed after\ntears occured, vitrectomy may be the correct treatment option. In vitrectomy surgery,\nretinal detachment is intervened through the eye. For this purpose, small holes are\nopened in the eyeball, the vitreous fluid is cleaned with the help of some cuts and\naspirating probes and light sources. The fluid accumulated under the retina is aspirated,\ntears are closed, laser treatment is applied. At the end of the surgery, it is necessary to\ngive a buffer substance into the eye to adhere the torn area and to maintain the success\nof the treatment. This buffer substance can be air and similar gases, or silicone oil. After\nthe operation, the patient should use protective eye drops for a while and lie down by keeping the head in a certain position.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
