What Literature says:
 Acute PVD is typically accompanied by floaters (myodesopias or
entopsias) or light flashes (photopsias)
 Significant variability in the literature regarding what the presence or
absence of these symptoms implies
 studies have variably reported that photopsia symptoms are
 1. Predictive either of a complicated PVD, nonpredictive, or protective
 The risk of RT or RRD occurring with PVD in published reports ranges
widely from 15.0% to 27.1%
Current concept
 Acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a critical lifetime
event that may be associated with the development of a retinal
tear (RT) or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), which
may in turn result in permanent vision loss if not identified and
treated promptly.
What is the problem with current thinking?
 Prior studies evaluating acute PVD have been
typically performed in retinal specialty practices and
likely suffer from referral bias for more significant
PVD-related events
The Question?
 What are the risk factors for retinal tear (RT) or
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with
acute, symptomatic posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) in
a comprehensive eye care setting
Main Issue
 By not referring to a retina specialist, is the comprehensive
ophthalmologist correct ?
 Especially the chances of missing Presence of RT or RRD at initial
presentation or within 1 year thereafter.

Rate of RT and RRD associated with acute PVD to be lower than rates
previously reported by retina subspecialty practices.
Several patient features strongly predicted the presence of initial and late
complications of acute PVD

How likely is a patient to have a
complicated PVD based
on features that can be determined by a
comprehensive ophthalmologist
Role of comprehensive ophthalmologist:
 Understand
 Risk of RT/RRD at presentation and within 1 year
 Evaluation of rates and risk factors
 Relate between refraction and risk of RT/RRD
Predictive Risk factors
Population distribution of 8305 patients presenting with acute symptomatic posterior
vitreous detachment (PVD). Women made up 61.2% of the cohort and presented at a
slightly earlier age than men (63.1 vs. 64.7 years, respectively).
Risk factors: History & Symptoms
 Blurred vision
 Age < 60 years
 Prior cataract surgery
 Prior photorefractive surgery
 Symptoms < 1 week duration
 Family history of RD
 Floaters
 Flashes
Risk factors: Signs
 Vitreous pigment
 Vitreous hemorrhage
 Retinal hemorrhage
 Lattice degeneration
 Vision < 20/40
 Initial and delayed rates of acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) complicated by retinal tear
(RT) or retinal detachment (RD)
 High-risk factors for delayed events included any vitreous hemorrhage, lattice degeneration, or
history of RT or RD in the fellow eye
Highly predictive of the presence of complicated PVD
The median interval until a late event was 22 days after initial presentation
93 of the late complications (70.0%) occurred within 6 weeks.
Sixty of the late events (45.1%) were detected at a scheduled follow-up appointment
Multivariate Logistic Regression of Variables that Increase the Risk of Late Retinal Tear or Detachment
Refractive Error
 High myopia (-3.00D -6.0 D ) risk factor for complicated PV
 Independent of patient age
 Relatively linear relationship
 Between
 The age at presentation of PVD and refractive error
 Myopic patients presenting at a younger age
 Hyperopes at a later age, compared with emmetropes
Factors predictive of Late events
 More likely to occur in patients who initially presented with
 1. Vitreous hemorrhage
 2. Lattice degeneration
 3. History of RT or RD in the fellow eye
 4. Occur at a median of 22 days after presentation
 5. Follow up closely sooner than interval of 6 weeks
Salient Points
 Incidence of RT during acute PVD in comprehensive ophthalmology is
substantially lower than that reported in series from retina subspecialty clinics
 Specific risk factors that can assist in predicting which patients are at highest
risk of complicated PVD both at triage and the time of initial examination
Predictive Factors of Late events
 Vitreous hemorrhage
 Lattice degeneration,
 History of RT or RRD in the fellow eye
 Patients with any of these key characteristics should be observed closely
Refractive error
 Close relationship among refractive error, patient age at PVD, and
risk of complicated PVD, with myopic eyes not only presenting at a
younger age but also having an independently greater risk of
associated RT or RRD
