Separation of the vitreous humor from the retina. The vitreous humour is a transparent and colorless gel located between the retina and the lens. In posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), the vitreous membrane (which surrounds the vitreous humor) separates from the retina.

PVD is often characterized by flashes of light and floaters, and may be complicated by retinal detachment. |
