Foggy vision after a pvd

When the vision is foggy and comes and goes it is usually more related to dryness. With PVD when it effects the vision it is typically like a black curtain hanging down. Causing vision loss from where it pulled. Id try some lubricating drops for relief. Best of Luck!

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Started last saturday July 27. It's like a big glob that moves around but never really goes away. Doctor told me its floater and will settle on its own. I've had one before and they don't seem to settle as quickly as we would like. Its not the squigly line floater that are not as bothersome but more of a cloudy bubble that i try to blink away

So, I had a detached retina as a result of vitreous fluid tugging on my retina. Underwent a vitrectomy and cataract surgery. I can see really clearly with this eye (well, except for the fact that I have visual snow). In my other eye, I've now had a complete PVD and my vision is blurred a bit from the 'glob' that floats around. Mostly my brain has learned to ignore it. Certain light really makes me aware of the problem. Especially since the other eye is clear. It helps to wear sunglasses whenever I'm outside.

Your blurriness might be a developing cataract, is that possible? I was shocked at how clear things looked after my cataract surgery. I didn't realize I was seeing everything with a somewhat yellow tinge to it.

Now, if anyone ever wants to talk about visual snow - that's an entirely different discussion. It's always something, sigh.

We have to remember to be grateful that medical technology allows us to maintain our sight - even if it isn't the way we remember from our youth. And the brain is a powerful muscle that will eventually adjust your vision so you'll see what there is to see. Try not to worry (easier said than done) and don't hesitate to see your doctor whenever you have concerns.

Hi Christine

I sympathize and know what youre going through. I developed a Weiss ring (large) floater and got the PVD diagnosis 5 months ago. Doctor said its in both eyes, which surprised me as I dont notice anything with my left eye, just the right, which like you I get an oily smudge type effect from time to time. Its hard to ignore sometimes, but I am getting better at it. Just preying it doesn't lead to a detached retina. Take care

Hi been checked and yes all ok...it seems as we get older the vitreous goes like water and the debris can float around hence the foggy vision....I was told it should settle to the bottom like a wine does.ha ha

it is worrying and very uncomfortable...don't like the age thing at all..

mine is now 9wks old so been told it is very doubtful of a detached retina...

let's hope we all see alot better.😊🤓

I just wanted to touch on this subject a little bit further. This glob like floater that I have is something I had years ago as well. Then last year I had cataract surgery in both eyes and it seemed the glob-like floatie was gone. I did have the regular stringy squigly line floaties every once in a while but those are not as bothersome. This cloudy blob is really bothersome. For those of you that have had a vitrectomy, does that cure the floater problem? Isn't a vitrectomy a serious procedure to undergo?

I seriously thought that after cataract surgery my glob like floater would be a thing of the past

i have had PVD both eyes and blobby floaters both eyes plus 2 WEISS rings. as others have said worse in certain lights. sometimes my brain tunes them out and other times no.

I think the quantity and level of disruption is different for everyone, I certainly hope it gets better for you. What you are describing sounds similar to my current vision in my right eye, which is like looking through soup.
