Presenile cataracts, nystagmus, and strabismus are sometimes present. Some patients have normal vision but others have a severe reduction in acuity, even blindness. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

If a uveitis is present for a long time, the inflammation can cause other problems such as glaucoma and cataracts. It is therefore important that the uveitis be controlled. [coopereyecare.com]
The condition can affect patients of any age group, present with a variety of visual symptoms, affect one or both eyes, and have an acute or chronic course. [dvra.net]
Eyes
- Vitreous Floaters
Vitreous body floaters (also known as vitreous body haze) are often called flying flies (Latin muscae volitantes), which are pathologies of the vitreous gel filling the eye. [sgoem.ch]
Symptomatic Vitreous Floaters or Vitreous Opacities – sudden appearance of multiple floaters, particularly dark appearing floaters may be an indication of a more serious condition. [retinaspecialistsmd.com]
An example of an evolving indication for vitrectomy surgery is large vitreous floaters, usually in patients with a previous posterior vitreous detachment. [jlgh.org]
This can cause vitreous floaters. The aqueous humor, the fluid in the front part of the eye, is continuously replenished. However, the gel in the vitreous body is not. [webrn-maculardegeneration.com]
Workup
If an underlying disease is suspected to be responsible for the inflammation, a medical workup may be initiated in order to isolate the cause. In many cases a cause cannot be identified despite a thorough investigation. [dvra.net]

Treatment Treatment Options: No prophylactic treatment has been reported but patients need lifelong monitoring to detect and treat glaucoma, retinal neovascularization, and detachments. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment for uveitis requires steroids to suppress the inflammation. Often, dilating drops are used to quiet the inflammation and make the eye more comfortable. The length of treatment varies from patient to patient. [coopereyecare.com]
Different Treatment Options The treatment options for those who suffer from diabetic retinopathy include intraocular corticosteroids injected under topical anesthesia. [ic.steadyhealth.com]
Helps you make optimal use of the newest drug therapies, including Anti-VEGF treatment for wet ARMD and bevacizumab treatment for complications of diabetes. [books.google.com]
Prognosis
Hunyor, MD Treatment and prognosis There are currently 3 main options for treating VMT syndrome. Watchful waiting and regular monitoring with OCT is often used for patients whose symptoms do not warrant active intervention. [asrs.org]
Diabetic patients with well controlled blood sugar and diabetes management generally enjoy a better visual prognosis. [ufhealthjax.org]
The outlook (prognosis) in vitreous haemorrhage depends both on the cause and on the severity. [patient.info]

In addition to being a more involved procedure that often warrants going to the operating room, the prognosis may be worse depending on the detachment's severity. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

It may take on a number of different appearances depending on the etiology underlying its formation. a Complete vitreous detachment with collapse characterized by a sigmoidal shape posterior hyaloid. b CPVD without collapse which is shallowly detached [karger.com]

Epidemiology Classical studies suggested an incidence of about 50% at the age of 50, and 65% beyond 65 years [ 73 ]. Use of OCT has shown that PVD is a much slower process requiring several decades for completion in most individuals [ 31, 72, 74 ]. [karger.com]
Pathophysiology
The first step to preventing any disease state requires understanding its pathophysiology. Unfortunately, our current knowledge does not adequately explain what leads to vitreous liquefaction. There are, however, many hypotheses. [retinatoday.com]
Our understanding of the pathobiology and pathophysiology of vitreoretinal diseases combined with technological advancements in instrumentation for vitreoretinal surgery has led to many new indications for vitrectomy surgery since the technique was first [jlgh.org]

Prevention
If we could prevent vitreous liquefaction, and consequently prevent many age-related ocular diseases, then perhaps we could all retain the healthy eyes we had in our youth. n Nancy M. [retinatoday.com]
How is vitreous haemorrhage prevented? Prevention of vitreous haemorrhage involves preventing the underlying causes. [patient.info]
Early detection and treatment could prevent vision loss. See an eye care professional right away if you have a sudden change in vision, if everything looks dim, or if you see flashes of light. [icdlist.com]
Aspirin is commonly used to prevent the artery from becoming blocked again. [eye.uci.edu]
