Vitreous body is a glass-like substance in the eyes of human/animal. It is colorless and transparent, semi-solid and gelatinous, and its main component is water. There is no blood vessel in the vitreous body, and the nutrients it needs come from the aqueous humor and choroid, so the metabolism is slow and cannot be regenerated. If there is any defect, the space will be filled by aqueous humor.
Vitreous body plays an important role in the pathogenesis of recurrent uveitis in horses. In vitreous samples from horses with ERU, a large number of dense fibrillary tracts, mononuclear inflammatory cells, and necrotic cells represent the destruction of the vitreous fibrillary network.
