About six months ago my vision became cloudy. I went for an eye exam and they told me that I had PVD. Nothing you can do about it. After awhile my eyes will ignore the floater. We will see.

I just turned 30 years old. This seems to have happened to me last year. It is driving me crazy. I'm really getting depressed. Tell your mother above that she's lucky it happened later in life.
I just had it happen to me last year and I'm only 23! The optamologist I saw said it was probably due to the fact that I am so severly near sighted in my right eye. (The eye it happened in.) If you're extremely myopic its more likely that it will happen to you mich earlier in life...though not usually 23. :-( There's really nothing that you can do except just learn to live with it, and watch your vision to make sure you're not having any complications from it such as retinal detachmants or macular puckers.

I am 50 and just diagnosed with PVD. I had been camplaining for years but nobody reacted. My eye doctor looked at me with a strange look and just said: if you see flashes an fireworks in you eye, call me for an emergency surgery. I am looking for a coping treatment (ie: the problem gets worst when I read and have light on the affected eye)and for ways to avoid getting this problem get any worse. Any recoendations? ricardo_ccep@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.79.45.56 (talk) 20:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
My son was diagnosed today with PVD and he is 13 years old. I am told by a renowned Opthalmologist that PVD is so common that almost everyone will experience it sooner or later and there is no cure. He did say your brain will eventually learn to ignore the symptoms (flashes, spots, floaters, etc).
My son experiences periods of total blackness with what he describes as drill holes where he can see small bits of what is in front of him...typically lasting about 5 seconds. He plays football, Xbox, rides go-carts and bicycles and I am told to let him continue to be himself as the risk of retinal detachment at least for him is slim to none after 3 months post onset of symptoms.
Good luck to all of you! Jane Smerdell 24.239.200.15 (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
