What Is PVD? (You Might Have It Right Now)

Many people first notice floaters or flashes and wonder if something serious is happening with their eyes. It can feel sudden, unusual, and a little worrying — even though this is something almost everyone will experience at some point in life.

Dr Mitch Lee explains what’s happening when the vitreous gel in the eye begins to separate naturally with age, why this process can create floaters or light flashes, and when those symptoms should be checked. The aim is to help you understand what’s normal, what’s worth monitoring, and when it’s important to get an eye examination.

✅ A simple way to understand the “gel” inside the eye
✅ Why floaters appear (and when they’re expected)
✅ The difference between normal changes and warning signs
✅ When to get your eyes checked — just to be safe
