Brief Description
Vitreous syneresis is an aging process of vitreous humor or the vitreous that fills the space between lens and the retina of the eyeball. The vitreous is jelly-like material and consists of water and collagen fibers that hold the eye in its ball-like shape or eyeballs. vitreous is a clear substance and allows transmission of light to the retina. As one gets older, the collagen fibers break down into fibrils that become the floaters. The floaters caused by vitreous syneresis are generally clear and linear form. Sometimes, it is referred as seen “a flying mosquito.” This the most common type of floater, and occur more at ages > 50.
