    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Diseases
    • Vitreoretinal Interface

    Background:

    • Floaters and light flashes are frequent patient complaints prompting eye examinations.
    • Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common etiology for these visual disturbances.
    • While PVD is typically benign, its association with retinal anomalies warrants investigation due to potential vision impairment.
