H43.8: Other disorders of vitreous body

The vitreous body of the eye consists of a transparent, gel-like fluid. It is surrounded by a thin membrane and fills the entire rear area of the eye. This is how it gives the eye its shape.

Your vitreous body may have shrunk and contracted. Your vitreous body may also have changed in some other way.

When the vitreous body changes, one’s vision may be worse than usual.
