“Proteomics of human vitreous fluid has generated new ideas about the effects of diabetes on the retina,” said Dr. Feener. “Now we are in the process of exploring the role of the other proteins we ...

Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a primary mediator of retinal angiogenesis, VEGF inhibition alone is insufficient to prevent retinal neovascularization. Hence, it is postulated ...

Eye floaters (myodesopsias) emerge as a consequence of opacities developed in the vitreous fluid of the eye. The fibers in the vitreous create shadows on the retina and these shadows are called ...

Zonular dehiscence can be due to traumatic injury from external trauma or iatrogenic trauma from previous intraocular surgery, nontraumatic causes such as pseudoexfoliation, or congenital disorders ...

If you’ve ever gazed at a blank sheet of paper and seen black wisps and tangles drift through your field of vision, you have floaters. Floaters are a result of vitreous fluid inside your eyeball ...

Vitreous cavity lavage by volume homeostatic fluid-fluid exchange may be a viable management strategy to remove bloody content in eyes with post-vitrectomy diabetic vitreous hemorrhage. According to a ...

A vitrectomy is a type of eye surgery. An eye doctor may recommend it to treat advanced diabetic retinopathy. The surgery involves removing blood and scar tissue in the eye. Diabetic retinopathy can ...
