My ophthalmologist has diagnosed me with PVD, but I haven't yet received answers to the following questions and would appreciate some help. I'm wondering if the distracting, annoying, continuous symptoms are EVER going to go away (the bright "thread" lights and other sparkling lights, and a large distinct cobweb of floaters). I would also like to know if horseback riding and ATV riding over rough terrain might aggravate the condition to the point of causing a retinal tear. And finally is there a natural remedy or vitamin, like Lutein, that might help with this condition. Sorry to load up the list with so many questions, but I really feel like I need some help!
