Water ripples in the afterglow of the eyes may be related to uveitis, macular degeneration, retinal detachment and so on. 1. Uveitis: due to infection, autoimmune, trauma, genetics and other factors may cause inflammation of the uvea, causing clouding of the vitreous body, resulting in seeing water ripples. 2. Macular tear: It may be caused by eye trauma, macular degeneration, high myopia, etc., which causes the loss of the entire neuroepithelium in the center of the macula. Visual distortion may occur, such as feeling curved when looking at a straight line. 3. Retinal detachment: caused by retinal tear, mechanical pulling and fluid leakage. It can show a small black shadow in front of the eyes, which can be flaky or streaky and sometimes accompanied by flashes of light, which is regarded as water ripples. When there are water ripples in the afterglow of the eyes, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions and then further relevant examinations, with the help of the doctor to clarify the cause, and to carry out targeted treatment or therapy.
