You have had an operation on your 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. The retina is a layer inside the eye. It contains a lot of sensory cells that can perceive light. There are sensory cells for colors and sensory cells for light and dark. The sensory cells pass the information on to the nerve cells in the optic nerve.

This operation involves removing the vitreous body. During the procedure, the vitreous body is cut up and sucked off in pieces with a special tool. These kinds of operations can be carried out multiple times. If a person has already had surgery on their vitreous body before, it may have already been partially or completely removed in the past. Your vitreous body was filled with a gas.

The operation also involved removing a fine layer of connective tissue around the retina. Various conditions can involve the formation of these layers of connective tissue, and they can impair one’s vision. The layer of connective tissue had pulled on your retina and partially detached it.
