The effects of aging on the mechanical properties of the vitreous

The vitreous body is a viscoelastic gel-like network that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the eye. With aging, the vitreous undergoes a liquefaction process in which liquid pockets form in the gel network, thereby motivating the detachment of the vitreous from the retina in a proc...
