Partial PVD( floaters),Glaucoma suspect
I started seeing floaters aftrr my first doctor visit earlier this year when i went for a checkup atter eye pain. Doctor suspected cupping but OCT and pressure were normal. However, floaters increased. In October, Glaucoma test results were okay and a second retina doctor said that floaters is due to partial PVD. Both doctors advised artificial tears drop. However, there's irritation in eyes and floaters have increased (like liquid gel). Additional, lately I have started seeing mild rainbow when I see lights - it kind of appears like a startburst. My cornea is thin- just below 500 microns. Is the rainbow and starburst due to liquification of the vitreous?
Hello ,
You have done a full evaluation for glaucoma,which has turned out to be normal. Keep evaluating for glaucoma every 6 months.
Seeing flashes of light, and floaters, in an otherwise asymptomatic eye is mostly PVD..
These flashes and floaters will come down once the complete PVD occurs.
If you have a high myopia, or a family history,then early age PVD can happen.
Next Steps
in any case ,it's nothing to worry about, if there is no glaucoma. PVD treatment is to just let it be ,and keep following up.
