The problem with partial/ongoing vitreous detachment started for me in the spring, 2022. I visited an eye doctor and heard that it's a change that come with age for some people and it's no dangerous when it's fully detached but while it's ongoing, there can be a pull and strain to the optical nerve and retina so that's why you should avoid "headbanging" movements and avoid leaning forward. I had the typical symptoms of light flashes, cloudiness and dots in my field of vision. I had read that vitamin A is vital for the eye and that you can eat large doses for some time, so I thought maybe I can heal the eye instead of just waiting for a full detachment. I started off a bit cowardly with 20 mg for about a 6 weeks and then reduced it to 15, 9 and 6 over the next three months. Most light flashes disappeared (meaning that the vitreous was mostly reattached) but I still had some irritation from reflexes so it wasn't completely healed. In the spring of 2023 I started again, also with about 20 mg per day for some weeks and then reduced it. I think I took vitamin A also this time for about 3-4 months. After that my eye wasn't irritated from refkexes any longer. I still had some cloudiness and dots though. This spring I have taken a lot more (which I think I should have done form the beginning) so I have taken 30 for about 5 months. Most cloudiness is now gone. I still have two dots in my field of vision. I will take another round next spring and hopefully everything has healed completely by then. I haven't done any exercises. I lay on my back a few times a day in the spring of 2022 since that means no pull at all to the retina and optical nerve, I thought that was a good idea when the vitreous was half loose.
A positive thing is that I have always have very good color vision but now it's even better, it's like colors in nature in the spring are a bit like neon colors so my recommendation for those that are color blind is to at least try vitamin A for a few months and see if it has an effect.
