Delayed Retinal Tear Following Acute Posterior Vitreous Detachment

Retinal tears occurring more than one year after acute posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) are rare. However, patients with notable risk factors, such as myopia and lattice degeneration, and those aged <60 years require prolonged monitoring to prevent vision-threatening complications [1,2]. This case report presents a patient who developed a retinal tear 21 months after initial PVD, underscoring the importance of extended follow-up protocols.
