Vitreous Vitreous is the clear, solid gel that fills the center of the eye and is attached to the retina in youth. During middle age, vitreous degenerates and can cause floaters, flashing lights, retinal tears, and retinal detachments. Distortions could be related to macular pucker or macular holes.
Macula The macula is the central portion of the retina, responsible for detailed central vision. During aging, the macula can degenerate, causing one to lose the ability to see small objects. Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in older individuals, especially if associated with sudden distortions.
Retina The retina lines the inside of the back of the eye and, like a film in a camera, produces an image from the light which enters the eye. Diabetic retinopathy, the leading cause of blindness in younger people, and retinal vein and artery occlusions result from abnormal retinal blood vessels.
