To predict the presence of tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in eyes with dense vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by evaluating the status of posterior vitreous d...
A total of 44 eyes from 22 patients who underwent vitrectomy due to dense VH with PDR were enrolled. Using OCT, the PVD status in the fellow eye was divided into two groups (incomplete and complete PV...
There was a difference in the interobserver agreement regarding the presence of TRD in eyes with dense VH evaluated by B scan between novice and experienced ophthalmologists (novice, κ = 0.421 vs. exp...
Evaluation of the PVD status in the fellow eye using OCT may be a useful predictor for detecting the presence of TRD in eyes with dense VH and PDR....
To analyze the typical presentation of acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), including demographics and prevalence of various treatable findings in the same and fellow eye....
Retrospective analysis of medical records from 2346 patients with acute PVD. Descriptive statistics were generated on age, sex, contact date, visual acuity, and slit lamp, and fundoscopy findings. Mul...
A total of 4692 eyes from 2346 patients were analyzed. Most patients were female (60.5%) with an average age of 62.8 years old. Overall, 605 patients (25.8%) had any additional ocular finding on fundu...
Acute PVD is associated with a number of risk factors and peripheral lesions. These findings may be useful in treating and predicting the course and development of PVD....
The aim of this study was to determine symptom-level risk factors for retinal tear/retinal detachment (RT/RD) in our patients presenting with symptoms of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)....
We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients presenting to outpatient ophthalmology clinics at a single academic institution with complaint(s) of flashes, floaters, and/or subjective field loss...
We recruited 237 patients (age 20-93 years) from March 2018 to March 2019. The most common diagnosis was PVD (141, 59.5%), followed by vitreous syneresis (38, 16.0%) and RT/RD (34, 14.3%). Of those wi...
While well-known demographic and exam-based risk factors for RT/RD exist in patients with PVD symptoms, the relative importance of symptom characteristics is less clear. We found that the presence of ...
To investigate the impact of phacoemulsification on posterior vitreous detachment formation in eyes with vitreomacular traction (VMT) with or without macular holes....
A retrospective search of the medical records was conducted to identify patients with VMT who underwent cataract surgery at Mass Eye and Ear from 2016 to 2021. Patient demographics, ocular comorbiditi...
A total of 22 patients (15 women [68%]) met inclusion criteria (average age, 71 years). Fifteen eyes had an associated epiretinal membrane (63%), 7 had a lamellar hole (29%), and 8 had an FTMH (33%). ...
Unlike other studies, in this case series of 24 eyes with VMT or VMT with holes, no cases of full posterior vitreous detachment occurred following unremarkable phacoemulsification or YAG capsulotomy....
This study compared the characteristics of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)-related and glaucomatous optic disc hemorrhage (DH). Fundus photographs of eyes with PVD-related DH (PVD group) and glauc...
Inducing a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) may be challenging, especially in pediatric patients with firm vitreo-retinal adherence. This case report will present an alternative method of PVD induc...
An 11-year-old boy underwent scleral buckle placement and 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for macula-off retinal detachment. Triamcinolone acetonide was used for vitreous staining. A flexible loop was ...
PVD induction was obtained with no iatrogenic retinal breaks or postoperative complications....
PVD induction using a stepwise PFO approach is a safe and effective alternative to conventional techniques....
Retinal detachment (RD) is one of the most common, sight-threatening ocular conditions requiring emergency intervention. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs in the majority of an aging populati...
The purpose of the study was to develop a simple telephone questionnaire, without physical examination input, that predicts which patients calling with symptoms of a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD...
Prospective cohort (quality improvement) study....
All patients with symptoms consistent with a PVD calling a major academic ophthalmology department over a 4-month period in 2020 and who were seen on follow-up within 1.5 months (211 screened and 193 ...
A comprehensive telephone questionnaire assessing for RT/RD risk factors was administered by telephone triage staff to all patients calling with symptoms of flashes, floaters, or curtain/veil in their...
Development of a clinical risk score for having an RT/RD at the add-on visit after telephone triage....
Approximately 55% of patients were previously established in the retina clinic, 26% were new to the department, 19% were previously established in the comprehensive clinic, and 7% had an RT/RD at the ...
To our knowledge, this is the first study to predict risk of an RT/RD in a patient calling with symptoms consistent with a PVD without reference to the patient's physical examination or chart. Our cli...

The study aims to observe the spontaneous remission of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD)-type vision degrading myodesopsia (VDM) during long-term follow-up....
We retrospectively reviewed VDM patients with PVD type that refused any treatment. The ratio and time of significant spontaneous remission of floater symptoms occurring were described. The associated ...
In total, 179 patients with VDM were assessed. The mean age of all patients was 60.56 ± 0.47 years old, and the mean duration of follow-up was 23.89 ± 6.63 months. Of the patients, 40.78% have signifi...
Approximately 40% of VDM patients with PVD may experience significant spontaneous remission during long-term follow-up. Patients that are non-myopic and with fewer floaters are more likely to feel rel...
To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative biomicroscopy (BM), ultrasonography (US), and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to determine complete posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) c...
This prospective study included all consecutive patients admitted for surgical treatment of the epiretinal membrane (ERM) and macular hole (MH). The presence of complete PVD was determined one day bef...
A total of 123 eyes from 123 patients were included in the study. Indications for PPV included ERM in 57 (46.3%), full thickness macular hole in 57 (46.3%) and lamellar macular hole in 9 (7.3%) patien...
Preoperative BM, US, and SD-OCT showed relatively low sensitivity but also good specificity in assessing complete PVD. A combination of all three diagnostic methods can provide a good assessment of th...
