Weiss Ring:

➡️A Weiss ring is a type of 'floater'.
➡️These are pieces of debris that float around in the vitreous humor of the eye, which is the gel-like substance that sits inside the eyeball - between the lens and the retina.
➡️Floaters are often caused by shrinkage of the vitreous humor, causing tiny specks of collagen-like material to become visible as floating spots or threads in your field of vision.
➡️This is more common as you get older and is most noticeable when moving your eyes across a light background.
➡️A Weiss ring is a much larger, ring-shaped floater that is created by a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) from around the optic nerve head. In other words, this is when the vitreous tissue detaches from the retina.

Clinical features may include:
➡️One (most common) or multiple large floaters that are circular, ovoid or shaped in a bent line
➡️Random flashes of light across the field of vision - also known as photopsia.
➡️While a Weiss ring is usually harmless and will disappear on its own eventually, in a small number of cases a PVD can cause a retinal tear.
➡️These are vision threatening and so it is vital to consult with an eye specialist, or an optometrist immediately after developing a Weiss ring.
