CLASSIFICATION OF VITREOUS OPACITIES AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF VITREOUS OPACITY IN CATARACT

Abstract

In the past, the transparency of the vitreous and associated problems of detailed clinical examination resulted in poorly defined concepts of vitreous pathology. With ultrasonography ”traction”, ”contraction”, ”organisation”, ”opacity” of the vitreous is standardized nomenclature in respect of both nature and location, and surgical techniques have been applied as necessary. To our knowlege there is no classification of vitreous opacity in medical literature up to now. So we carry out this study on the vitreous opacity by ultrasonography as an evidence-based medicine and describe the relationship of vitreous opacity in two groups: cataract and no cataract contributing in treatment better.
