Abstract

Vitreoretinal interface diseases are common causes of vision loss or metamorphopsia in spite of recent advances in clinical ophthalmology including vitreoretinal surgery, pharmacological therapy such as anti-VEGF agents, and gene-mediated therapy. The vitreous is often used as a therapeutic place or platform for these therapies; therefore, more detailed knowledge about the environment of the vitreous is required.
