Vitreous touch syndrome, also known as vitreoretinal traction syndrome, is a condition that affects the eyes. It occurs when the vitreous gel located inside the eye begins to thicken and pull away from the retina. This pulling can cause various symptoms, including flashes of light, blurred vision, and even retinal tears or detachments. There are several synonyms for this condition, including posterior vitreous detachment syndrome, vitreomacular adhesion syndrome, and vitreous traction syndrome. Regardless of the terminology used, it is critical to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of vitreous touch syndrome to prevent serious vision loss complications.
