Synchysis
The word "Synchysis" is not in my dictionary. What does it mean? In any case:
Synchysis: there is associated vitreous liquefaction. Syneresis: there is collapse of the vitreous due to collection of synchytic fluid between the posterior hyaloid membrane and the internal limiting membrane of the retina.
Is extremely awkward and should be rewritten. Senor Cuete (talk) 19:45, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
The word"synchytic" is not in the dictionary either. The above text should be removed because it's described in the article, in English. Senor Cuete (talk) 19:58, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
Vitreous
"Vitreous" is an adjective, not a noun, so the use of this word as a noun is wrong. Shouldn't this be something like vitreous humor"? Senor Cuete (talk) 19:48, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

This a edit you may want to add in. Posterior Vitreous Detachment can happen from just the age of 20. I got mine at 21 from stress on the eye's from sleeping with my face, face down on the bed with my arm pushing hard onto my eye's all night that i wake up with flashing colors and PVD can all so happen from eye injury. -- 122.148.183.23 (talk) 2015-12-04T23:13:36
Sources about symptoms
I have checked many websites to find more information about the symptoms that I have just discovered in my eye because in addition to one floater I have flashes as well. But all those websites contain only basic general information while the current article proves to be more detailed because it reads: "flashes that can look like a perfect circle [citation needed]". This information is crucial to me because I see those perfect circles, though only in the dark, with my eyes open and when I am moving the eyeballs. Besides, the article does not say anything about seeing anything in the total darkness, which is misleading because most people find it impossible to see anything without light. By all means it is possible, and it happened to me. (I can describe it in full details but this is not a forum.) Why is so hard to find sources with more detailed information about symptoms? Is there any eye doctor here who could help to find those sources? 85.193.250.200 (talk) 23:04, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
