Vitreous presenting around zonular dehiscence (Photo)

This photograph shows a veil of vitreous that is presenting around a subluxed lens. The initial injury was extreme blunt trauma to the eye, which ripped the lens zonules and turned the lens cataractous.

Vitreous is difficult to see, which is why we use kenelog in surgery as the white particles stick to the face and make it easier to identify. In this case, pigment has stuck to the clear vitreous material, and outlines it well.

This is a static photograph, so it still may not be clear to you where exactly that vitreous “is presenting.” To get a better idea, you should watch our vitreous presentation video (this photo was taken from that source) where you can see the vitreous moving like an underwater plant in current.
