How Can Post Vitreous Detachment Be Corrected?
Hi, My name is Loretta. In December of 2013 I had catarac surgery on my right eye. I had a little problem with the sight after that. I did not have good sight on the right side of eye. I was also told that I had a catarac in left eye and I have what is called a floater in right eye. Also I have what is called "Post vitreous detachment" something I have never heard of. Is there anything that can be done to correct this? Thank you in advance.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are diagnosed as to have posterior vitreous detachment with cataract.
Posterior vitreous detachment is usually a age related change and no treatment is required.But patients with posterior vitreous detachment require evaluation by indirect ophthalmoscopy to look for associated retinal complications like retinal tear and if present require prophylactic treatment by laser.
Hence no need to worry about posterior vitreous detachment.
Thank you
