Ophthalmologist
Posterior vitreous detachment is a frequent occurrence linked to the natural ageing of the eye. The vitreous, a transparent gel that fills the eye cavity, liquefies with age and gradually detaches from the retina.
This leads to the appearance of floating bodies («flying flies») and sometimes flashes of light. In most cases, the detachment is benign and has no lasting effect on vision. However, in some cases it can cause a retinal tear causing retinal detachment. A retinal tear requires laser treatment. A retinal detachment requires urgent surgical intervention.
A rapid ophthalmological examination is therefore recommended in the event of recent or unusual symptoms.
After a check-up with the ophthalmologist, the warning signs are: the appearance of hundreds of flies/floating bodies, red vision or the disappearance/blurring of vision over half the area.
