What's wrong with vitreous opacity?

The vitreous opacity of both eyes may be caused by vitreous liquefaction, posterior vitreous detachment, inflammation, hemorrhage and other causes.

1. Vitrectomy

may be caused by gradual dehydration and contraction of the gelatinous vitreous after liquefaction.

2. The posterior vitreous of patients with posterior vitreous detachment

may be separated from the inner retina, causing posterior vitreous detachment to produce vitreous opacity.

3.

Inflammation of the retina and uvea adjacent to inflammation may also cause vitreous opacity of both eyes.

4. Bleeding

patients may be caused by vitreous hemorrhage due to disease or trauma.
