It is a false anatomical membrane. [1] The anterior hyaloid membrane separates the front of the vitreous from the lens . [ 2 ] Bernal et al. describe it "as a delicate structure in the form of a thin layer that runs from the pars plana to the posterior lens, where it shares its attachment with the posterior zonule via Weigert's ligament , also ...

The vitreous base is an area in the fundus of the eye in which the vitreous membrane, neural retina, and pigment epithelium all are firmly adherent, one to the other. The vitreous membrane is more firmly attached to the retina anteriorly at the vitreous base. The vitreous membrane does not normally detach from the vitreous base, although it can ...
The vitreous humor is a transparent, colorless, gelatinous mass that fills the space in the eye between the lens and the retina.It is surrounded by a layer of collagen called the vitreous membrane (or hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex) separating it from the rest of the eye.
A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a condition of the eye in which the vitreous membrane separates from the retina. [1] It refers to the separation of the posterior hyaloid membrane from the retina anywhere posterior to the vitreous base (a 3–4 mm wide attachment to the ora serrata ).
Hyalocytes, also known as vitreous cells, are cells of the vitreous body, which is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eye. Hyalocytes occur in the peripheral part of the vitreous body, and may produce hyaluronic acid and collagen fibrils , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Hyalocytes are star-shaped (stellate) cells with oval ...
The posterior segment or posterior cavity [1] is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all of the optical structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. [2]
Bruch's membrane or lamina vitrea [1] is the innermost layer of the choroid of the eye. It is also called the vitreous lamina or Membrane vitriae , because of its glassy microscopic appearance. It is 2–4 μm thick.
