Fig. 5. Posterior and central vitreous of a 59-year-old man. Fibers course anteroposteriorly in the center of the corpus vitreous and enter the retrocortical space through the premacular region of the vitreous cortex (to the top at the center). Within the cortex are many small “dots” that scatter light intensely (white arrows). The larger, irregular dots are debris. The smaller dots are hyalocytes.
