7 Suggested Approach for Referral of Patients With Presumed Posterior Vitreous Detachment - Clinical Scenario Recommended Action Floaters and/or flashes with red flag sign of acute retinal detachment Monocular visual field loss ( curtain of darkness ) Same-day referral to retinal surgeon; high risk of having retinal detachment New-onset floaters and/or flashes with high-risk features including subjective or objective visual reduction. Vitreous hemorrhage or vitreous pigment on slitlamp examination, Same-day referral to retinal surgeon for dilated eye examination Adapted from 2248 JAMA, November 25, 2009 Vol 302, No. 20 ( Suggested Approach for Referral of Patients With Presumed Posterior Vitreous Detachment - Clinical Scenario Recommended Action New-onset floaters and/or flashes without high-risk features Dilated eye examination within 1 to 2 weeks; counsel patient regarding high-risk features that should prompt urgent reassessment. By whom???? Recently diagnosed uncomplicated posterior vitreous detachment with out new retinal tear or detachment. New shower of floaters New subjective visual reduction Rule out high risk features The retinal surgeon or your clinical judgment should determine urgency. Adapted from 2248 JAMA, November 25, 2009 Vol 302, No. 20 Adapted from 2248 JAMA, November 25, 2009 Vol 302, No Stable symptoms of floaters and/or flashes for several weeks to months, not particularly bothersome to the patient and without highrisk features. Elective referral to retinal surgeon; counsel patient regarding highrisk features that should prompt urgent reassessment.
