Abstract:

This literature review provides modern information on the unique structure of the vitreous body, its functions, and its role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, describes the features of the vitreous morphology and metabolism, notes its biomechanical and trophic functions, outlines its role in healthy hydrodynamics and hemodynamics of the eye, as well as in aqueous humor outflow. The review presents clinical observations on the association of pathological changes in the vitreous body with glaucoma development and examines the role of involutional changes in the vitreous in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. The article also discusses possible pathogenetic mechanisms of glaucoma development in terms of pathological changes in the vitreous.
