Abstract
The vitreous humor is the main component of the refractive-media, which transmits light. A viscoelastic gel, the vitreous, supports the retina, cushions external forces, and resists vibration. Blood-vitreous barrier, also known as the retina-vitreous barrier can prevent macromolecules in the retinal vessels from entering the vitreous gel. With the development of ophthalmic examination techniques, vitreous diseases have been studied in-depth in the past 20 years. As a high-resolution, noncontact, noninvasive biologic imaging technique, SS-OCT is increasingly used in clinical and basic medicine to improve our understanding of its pathophysiology.
