Posterior Vitreous Detachment
vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common occurrence in old age.
Also known as: PVD
Retinal Traction Detachment
Retinal traction detachment (RTD) or tractional retinal detachment (TRD) is defined as the separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to the traction caused by proliferative membranes present over the retinal surface or

Vitreous Floaters
The most common cause of vitreous floaters in ophthalmology is posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a separation of the posterior hyaloid face from the retina.
Vitrectomy
The pars plana approach to the vitreous cavity allows access to the posterior segment to treat many vitreoretinal diseases.
Epiretinal Membrane
Its a commonly occurring condition, affecting the posterior pole of the retina over the macula.
Eales Disease
Cases in which vitreous hemorrhage persists and does not resolve in several months, with or without retinal detachment need vitrectomy, the results of which are quite satisfactory.
Macular Hole
Retinal detachment from the macular hole is not very uncommon, and in these cases, different techniques of hole closure are now being tried.

Retinal Detachment
Retina Anatomy) is the innermost layer of tissue of the posterior portion of the eye and is composed of multiple cellular layers.
Scleral Buckling
Retinal detachment (RD) is defined as the separation of the neurosensory retina (NSR) from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer.
