What Is a Posterior Vitreous Detachment?
8. Who’s At Risk
As mentioned, a posterior vitreous detachment usually happens as part of the ageing process, meaning it is usually found in older people. There are some other factors that can also make people more likely to develop the condition, however. This includes people that have already had some form of eye surgery.
Also on the list of higher category people are those with diabetes. People with cataracts are also more likely to develop the condition, while people who are near sighted are also at a higher risk. People that have sustained injuries to their eye in the past are also in a higher risk bracket.
