飛蚊症の数が多いほど合併症リスクが高まる。飛蚊症が10個以上ある場合、網膜裂孔リスクが最大となる1)17)。また、飛蚊症は通常3か月程度で自覚的に軽減する1)。飛蚊症のQOL影響は白内障手術前の utility value に匹敵する水準と報告されており13)、患者の訴えを軽視しないことが重要である。
ヒアロサイト(後硝子体皮質界面の常在マクロファージ系細胞)の変化も観察される。en face OCTの症例報告では、PVD眼の後部硝子体皮質内にヒアロサイトと考えられる高反射点が増加し、形態変化を示すことが報告されている2)。異常なPVDでは硝子体網膜界面の細胞反応が牽引膜形成に関与する可能性がある。
en face OCTによるヒアロサイト定量評価は、硝子体網膜界面疾患(網膜前膜・VMT・黄斑円孔)のリスク予測に役立つ可能性がある。PVD眼ではヒアロサイトと考えられる細胞をen face OCTで可視化・定量できる可能性が報告されており2)、硝子体網膜界面の細胞反応は新たな研究対象として注目されている。
