Although PVD is an oldage disease,my doctors told me myopia can sometimes accelerate it in late twenties though its rare. He told me if im not seeing flashes very frequently i will be fine and PVD happens to everyone and is a part of aging. My question is 5 months have past with not much disturbance. Should not the process be over by now. I have read it only takes a few weeks though who am i to know anything about opthalmic anatomy and physiology. Am i still under some risk of retinal pathology. If yes then what. I still face minor discomfort now and then and freak out immediately, even though they dont seem.like flashing. Can someone tell me that how long does it take for PVD to run its course and the condition to stabilize. Will i forever live under the risk of flashing and retinal tears. Im scared all the time, keeping eyes closed whenever i can given i am a software professional. What am i gonna do, im just 26 with -2 power. PLEASE PLEASE HELP, IM GOING PSYCHOTIC...
