Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is indeed not related to myasthenia gravis. MG affects the neuromuscular junction — the communication point between nerves and muscles — rather than the internal structures of the eye itself.

The eye-related symptoms that MG does cause are due to weakness in the muscles that control eye movement and eyelid lifting. These include:

- Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
- Double vision (diplopia)
- Blurry vision
- Difficulty keeping eyes open

These symptoms tend to fluctuate — often worse with activity or fatigue and better with rest. So while PVD and MG can both affect how you see, they are separate issues with different causes. It's always worth keeping your care team informed about any vision changes, whether MG-related or not, especially if they affect your safety or daily independence.
