See silver lines looking like blood vessels in vision when I blink

[4151]

I am 46 yrs old and have had a hx of retinal tears and lattice. For the past four weeks I started to see silver/grayish lines which lookalike blood vessels in my vision when I blink. They go away in a seconds.. I sometimes see it for a second when I move my eyes.ni have had a pvd two years ago and I saw my retina specialist last week who said the eye looks fine, and to return in three months. I also noticed starting around the same time, that when I look at a light surface I see hundreds of tiny silver speckles. I hvebmanybfloaters but this is different. I am very worried that the "vessels" I see when blinking is tugging on my retina and may result in a detachment.

I already had a posterior vitreous detachment in this eye about two years ago at which time I experienced the classic flashes and floaters. Vision cleared after that, except for a large floater, but now these new symptoms started, ie seeing silvery flash when blinking what looks kind of like vessels, and the many silvery little speckles when looking at a lite background. I did see my retina specialist tow weeks ago and he said the retina looked fine but I am still having these symptoms all day and daily.

It is possible that you are undergoing the normal process of posterior vitreous detachment, which occurs with age.  You are a bit young for this, but if you are myopic (nearsighted), it may be occurring at an earlier age.  There is nothing you can do to stop the process.  90% of the time, the vitreous will separate from the peripheral retina without causing a problem; 10% of the time a retinal tear will occur.  Symptoms of the retinal tear may include flashes of light peripherally like lightning, and the sudden onset of many new floaters, like bugs or cobwebs.  If you have any of these symptoms, you must see your retina specialist immediately.
