This results in eye floaters and flashes of light that can be annoying but is usually harmless. Early treatment usually significantly determines the prognosis in these cases. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs when the vitreousa gel-like fluid in the eyedetaches from the retina. The symptoms that justify an immediate visit to the ophthalmologist are the sudden appearance of photopsia and/or myodesopsia (flashes and floaters), seeing a central or peripheral black spot that does not disappear, and distorted images. Treatment for a detached retina Youll be referred to hospital for surgery if tests show your retina may be detached or has started to come away (retinal tear). Likewise, in patients with myopia magna it is common to find degenerative lesions in the central retina (areas of atrophy of the choroids and the pigmentary epithelium of the retina), growth of neovessels in the macula, separation of the layers of the retina (retinoschisis) and the macular hole. For this reason, in these cases it is common to find areas in the peripheral retina that are thinning and these areas may be predisposed to a breakage or detached retina. Clinical Appearances & Symptoms Sudden onset of floaters, tiny, solidified particles that slowly drift in front of the retina. The myopic eye is longer than normal and its walls, between which the retina is found, are thinner and, therefore, more fragile and vulnerable. A myopic eye with more than 8 dioptres is more highly predisposed to suffering eye diseases, such as glaucoma or cataracts, and, in particular, retina-related pathologies.
