Vitreous Syneresis: An Impending Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) There was suggestion of an evolving posterior vitreous detachment based on the vitreous syneresis seen in the anterior vitreous and symptoms consistent with separation of the vitreous from the retina The patient was instructed to monitor her symptoms closely
Vitreous Hemorrhage: From One Medical Student to Another The vitreous undergoes syneresis as we age, affording the opportunity to peel away from attachments in a process known as a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) When vitreous becomes completely separated from the optic nerve head, a Weiss ring (Figure 4) may be visible on fundus exam A PVD can create enough traction to tear or detach the retina

Atlas Entry - White Without Pressure (WWP) - University of Iowa A 20-year-old male was seen in the Retina Clinic for the possibility of retinitis pigmentosa, both eyes Unrelated to this, the peripheral exam showed relatively symmetric white patches of retina inferiorly and inferotemporally that were visible without scleral indentation Scleral depressed exam revealed that the retina was attached, and that there was no other peripheral retinal pathology
