Severe loss of contrast after PVD – normal eye exams
About a year ago, I had a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) with a Weiss ring. Since then, the quality of my vision has changed dramatically.
Before the PVD, my vision was already reduced (around 50%), but I could still function normally with it. Since the PVD, my distance vision has become much worse. At a distance, I mostly see outlines and shapes rather than details. Up close, I can see considerably better.
The biggest problem is contrast. Everything at a distance seems much less clear and less defined, almost as if there is a veil or haze over my vision. It isn’t simply blurry vision.
I still have floaters and a Weiss ring.
I’ve had several eye examinations:
Retina looks normal
Macula looks normal on OCT
No cataracts
No dry eye
Eye pressure is normal
Dilated eye examination was normal
OCT scans were normal
I don’t have any missing areas in my visual field. Colors don’t seem faded either — in fact, colors can look surprisingly bright when I’m looking at things up close.
I also tried looking through a very small pinhole. It makes the image only slightly sharper, but not by much.
Has anyone else experienced persistent low-contrast or hazy vision after a PVD/Weiss ring, despite having a normal retina and macula on examination?
Did it eventually improve, or did you find anything that helped?

Tbh 1 year later I am here ,u can see in my profile I was in stress about it. For about 3 months feeling much better, I almost forget em, busy days completely out of mind.

---YES they are there but u never think about them, they are not irrelavant anymore. Thats what happened to me , and thats ur ultimate aim.

WHAT DID I DO DURING THAT YEAR IN NUTSHELL:

----Eating much better food, no sugar , no processed food, mainly eggs meat etc good mom cooking healthy food[[ this might not be related directly to my floaters, but still good for general health--- This one was good, I mean feeling much better and younger about my body. Quit smoking 5 months ago as well, good for my lungs..

MAIN---I LET IT GO. THAT is my main tool to win over floaters. Not think them not follow em daily, out of mind out of sight.

-EYE vitamin? WHY NOT.. I took one containing Zeaksantin, Astaksantin and fish oil... Dont think directly related to floaters still good for eye.

HOPE U BEST---A year ago I was just like u reading everything and not believing ppl posting positive .. But it happens and ur brain and body adapts... It will pass......

Best of luck.

idk what else to say, they're just so bothersome and in the way, i also developed some little "sparkly" (sometimes blue) things in my vision and i don't have healthcare and everything i look up is just like "as long as there isn't a shower of floaters, no curtains in your vision and no flashes of light then you're good!" i wonder how much of this is just me overthinking or overanalyzing vs it being something
