Vitreal detachment - request for your experiences.
Vitreal detachment is a common event as one ages, particularly those with myopia (nearsightedness). It usually is associated with visual changes, typically flashing lights.

If you've had a vitreal detachment, with or without retinal detachment, please include the following information:
