How Does the Structure of the Vitreous Body Change with Age?
With age, the vitreous body undergoes significant changes. Initially, it is homogenous and firmly attached to the retina. However, over time, the collagen fibers within the vitreous body can clump together, and the gel can liquefy in a process known as syneresis. This leads to a more fluid state and can create pockets of liquid within the vitreous gel.
