The destruction of the vitreous body of the eye manifests itself in a change in the shape, size, degree of transparency of the substance located between the lens and the retina.
What is dangerous destruction of the vitreous body of the eye?
Gel-like eye fluid is enclosed in a framework of a complex system of filamentous formations - fibrils. At destruction, the fibers thicken, intertwine, lose transparency. Fragments of fibrils along with the products of decay remain in the thickness of the eyeball. Disturbances of the vitreous humus in neglected condition are practically not treated, especially in the elderly. Significant destruction is present in patients with severe forms of atherosclerosis, hypertension. In addition, people with a high degree of myopia are at risk. With a strong change in the structure of fibrils, complete loss of vision is possible.

The operation is aimed at removing the turbid vitreous body and replacing it with a transparent artificial substance with similar properties. This type of surgery is called vitrectomy and is performed in extreme cases. In another method of operation, laser cleavage of opacities and separation of fibril fibers are carried out.
