Basics of Vitreous for Ophthalmology Board Exams

The vitreous is a simple structure with only 1–2 questions in basic ophthalmology exams. The most important part to consider when studying the vitreous is its attachment to underlying structures and the spaces formed through these attachments. An example of questions in this regard is to ask about the site of strongest attachment, where the vitreous base, an attachment of vitreous to structures surrounding ora serrata, represents the strongest attachment.
