  2. Vitreous membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_membrane

    The vitreous membrane (or hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex) is a layer of collagen separating the vitreous humour from the rest of the eye. At least two parts have been identified anatomically. The posterior hyaloid membrane separates the rear of the vitreous from the retina. It is a false anatomical membrane. [1]

  3. Posterior vitreous detachment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_vitreous_detachment

    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).

  4. Vitreous body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_body

    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.

  5. Bruch's membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruch's_membrane

    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.

  6. Epiretinal membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiretinal_membrane

    Epiretinal membrane or macular pucker is a disease of the eye in response to changes in the vitreous humor or more rarely, diabetes.Sometimes, as a result of immune system response to protect the retina, cells converge in the macular area as the vitreous ages and pulls away in posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).

  7. Vitreomacular adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreomacular_adhesion

    Vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) is a human medical condition where the vitreous gel (or simply vitreous, AKA vitreous humour) of the human eye adheres to the retina in an abnormally strong manner. As the eye ages, it is common for the vitreous to separate from the retina.

  8. Vitreous base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_base

    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 ...
