Pronunciation: [pɒstˈi͡əɹɪə vˈɪtɹi͡əs dɪtˈat͡ʃmənt] (IPA) 
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) is a condition in which the gel-like substance present in the eye's posterior chamber separates from the retina.

Although PVD is considered a normal age-related change, it can sometimes cause floaters, flashes of light, and even retinal tears or detachment. Regular eye checkups can help detect any significant changes and prevent severe complications. Early intervention can also help prevent future vision problems. Anyone with eye-related symptoms should seek medical help immediately.
