PVD's with Weiss Rings in both eyes

[Patsy3033]

I have had PVD's in both eyes resulting in a Weiss Ring in both eye.  I've lived with them for about 5 years.
Now all of a sudden they have become more active with additional clouds and movement into my line of vision.
I saw my Glaucoma Specialist a week ago and mentioned this to him.  He diliated my eyes and used that little
tool to press around the outside of each eye examinating my retinas.  Retinas fine could find no reason for
extra movement of Weiss Rings and additional clouds with frantic motion.  Driving me nuts.
Can anyone shed some light on what is happening.  I feel like my eyes are falling apart from the inside.
Since this happened my eyes feel tired and strained all the time.  A Doctors comment would be greatly appreciated.

1. NO
2. Anything can happen including them dropping to the bottom of the eye and becoming invisible to you.

Can the process of dilation and peripheral retina exam itself cause more syneresis?  What are the chances of me getting use to the new and more rapid movement patterns. I was doing just fine until last week.   Vitrectomy is out for me because my retinas are very thin and stretched.

FIrst I have a Weiss Ring in my right eye and although I am unaware of it most times as soon as I talk or write about it the Weiss ring appears and is very distracting.

Likely as you have grown older more of your formed vitreous gel has liquified (syneresis) and there is a bigger pool of liquid vitreous for the Weiss rings to slosh around in. This is especially true if the dilated peripheral retina exam was normal.

Recently I posted a study that showed that removing floaters because they were annoying is potentially very dangerous and rarely called for.
