I. FUNCTION VITREOUS OF THE z. A. Screen out UV and IR light z. B. Provide a clear media for optical transmission z. C. Protection of the retina
II. ANATOMY z. A. Largely an acellular, connective tissue structure y 1. mass of 3. 9 grams y 2. approximately 99 % water y 3. 1 % solid x 0. 9% salts x 0. 08% protein x 0. 02% mucopolysaccharide
y 4. occupies 60 % of the globe y 5. index equivalent to the aqueous, n = 1. 334 y 6. some cells located in the anterior portion of the vitreous near the ciliary epithelium
III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE VITREOUS z. A. The primary vitreous develops at the end of the third embryonic week y 1. the primary vitreous is behind the lens vesicle and is formed by mesoderm that migrates between the optic cup and the lens vesicle y 2. is primarily the hyaloid vasculature xa. artery that supplies nutrients to the tissue behind the lens and the lens
III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE VITREOUS xb. the hyaloid vasculature dissolves before birth • i. the process is autolytic, i. e. the vasculature dissolves itself • ii. no macrophages enter the area from outside xc. the canal that is left after the primary vitreous dissolves is called the canal of Cloquet or the hyaloid canal xd. floaters
III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE VITREOUS z. B. The secondary vitreous starts to develop by the ninth week y 1. this becomes the mature vitreous y 2. mostly acellular and fibrous y 3. synthesized by the primary vitreal cells and retinal glial cells, i. e. , neuroectoderm in origin
III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE VITREOUS y 4. eventually fills the globe and compacts the primary vitreous xa. there is a condensed area of vitreous that separates the primary and secondary vitreous y 5. the secondary vitreous has a condensed area of vitreous at its periphery xa. acts like an outer skin
III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE VITREOUS z. C. The tertiary vitreous (zonular fibers) begins to develop at 6 months embryonically y 1. the fibrous structure of the secondary vitreous condenses and forms the zonules y 2. the zonules merge with the lens capsule and the basement membrane of the ciliary body
Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous
IV. VITREOUS ATTACHMENTS z. A. Anteriorly y 1. Wieger's Hyaloideo-Capsular Ligament y 2. Ora Serrata (anterior vitreous base) z. B. Posteriorly y 1. Optic Nerve Head (posterior vitreous base) y 2. Blood Vessels of the Retina and the Macula
V. CELLS OF THE VITREOUS z. A. Hyalocytes y 1. possibly originate from monocytes thus not intrinsic to the vitreous y 2. located in the anterior cortical vitreous near the ciliary body y 3. have a half-life of about a week y 4. only known function is to produce hyaluronic acid
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. A. Composition y 1. vitreous body y 2. vitreous humor y 3. collagen gives the vitreous its substance and the sodium hyaluronate provides the viscoelasticity
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. B. The human vitreous is typically a gel y 1. composed of randomly arranged collagen fibers and soluble hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate)
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. C. Collagen y 1. the protein of the vitreous is called vitrosin xa. determined to be collagen for several reasons • i. has the amino acid hydroxyproline which is specific to collagen • ii. has a shrinkage temperature of 60 to 65 degrees centigrade, the same as collagen • iii. has the same X-ray diffraction properties as collagen
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xb. properties different from collagen • i. 4% to 9% of the weight of vitrosin is a complex polysaccharide that can not be separated from it • ii. The polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic pattern of vitrosin does not match collagens types I, III or IV • iii. only 60% to 93% of the vitreous framework can be dissolved with collagenase
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS y 2. the collagen content of the vitreous is highest where it is a gel, at the vitreous cortex y 3. there are species differences in collagen content xa. the higher the collagen content the higher the viscosity of the vitreous
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. D. Sodium Hyaluronate y 1. a repeating chain of disaccharide units made up of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and Dglucuronic acid
y 2. the molecular weight is between 10, 000 and 1, 000 y 3. hydrophilic in nature y 4. most concentrated in the cortical vitreous
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS y 5. turnover rate is 0. 45 micro-grams/ day y 6. controls the viscosity of the vitreous y 7. the liquid portion of the vitreous increases with age
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. E. Normal Ionic Composition y 1. the vitreous, except for collagen and sodium hyaluronate, is very similar to the aqueous xa. Oxygen • i. the oxygen in the vitreous comes from the arteries of the retina
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xb. Water • i. the water in the vitreous is exchanged about every 30 minutes • ii. water movement of 85 mm 3 / min xc. Sodium • i. sodium enters anteriorly from the ciliary body and posterior chamber • ii. 90 % of the sodium in the vitreous is exchanged in 24 hours, mainly flows to the aqueous - demonstrated with intravitreal injections of hot sodium
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xd. Potassium • i. enters by active transport through the ciliary epithelium into the posterior chamber • ii. diffuses into the vitreous from lens and posterior chamber • iii. exits through the retina xe. Chloride • i. there is a gradient of chloride from the vitreous to the aqueous • ii. chloride removed via the retina and the posterior chamber
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xf. Phosphate • i. enters the vitreous via the ciliary body • ii. low concentration in the vitreous because is used by the retina • iii. if retina damaged, concentration of phosphate goes up in vitreous xg. Glucose • i. glucose diffuses into the vitreous from all tissues, principally the retina • ii. due to viscosity of vitreous, diffusion into vitreous slower than into aqueous
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xh. Proteins • i. the blood-vitreal barrier blocks the movement of most proteins into the vitreous
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. F. The Blood-Vitreal Barrier y 1. a specific blood-vitreal barrier has been inferred from the many molecules that have different concentrations in the vitreous and the aqueous (thus not just an aqueous extract) y 2. few molecules penetrate the vitreous, small molecules penetrate better than large ones.
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS xa. Fluorescein • i. intra-vitreal injections demonstrate that the bloodvitreal barrier is 27 to 38 times more permeable in the outward direction than the inward direction for fluorescein xb. Antibiotics • i. most antibiotics do not have good penetration into the vitreous • ii. additionally when they are injected into the vitreous they are readily removed by a carrier mechanism
VI. BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS • iii. the carrier mechanism may be inhibited with the simultaneous injection of probenecid • iv. penetration into the vitreous appears to be related to the liposolubility of the compound – 1. chloramphenicol is highly lipid soluble and penetrates the vitreous from the blood stream well so that therapeutic doses are achieved
Summary: Blood Vitreous Barrier z. Active pump to remove substances - in retinal vessels, RPE, and ciliary epithelium z. Lipid soluble substances have high permeability z. Mechanical barrier yvitreous meshwork
Blood Aqueous Barrier z. Mechanical Barrier yvascular endothelium, RPE, ciliary body epithelium
BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE VITREOUS z. G. Metabolism y 1. only the hyalocytes exhibit metabolic activity xa. principally the production of sodium hyaluronate xb. if all the hyaluronate is removed with an intravitreal injection of hyaluronidase it will be totally reformed in 6 weeks
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES z. A. Aging Changes y 1. Syneresis xa. a breakdown of the vitreous gel xb. fluid filled cavities form xc. 65 % of those over the age of 60 have syneresis xd. higher incidence in myopes
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES xe. results in the fluid filled cavities enlarging and a possibility of the vitreous detaching from the retina xf. with detachment the patient reports "flashing lights" and "floaters" xg. more prone to retinal detachment
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES y 2. Asteroid Hyalosis xa. hundreds of small spheres of calcium soaps are seen in the vitreous xb. are attached to the fibers of the vitreous so they move when the eye moves but always return to the same position xc. not associated with any systemic condition
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES xd. more common in the elderly xe. no clinical significance xf. does not effect vision xg. 3 times more likely to be unilateral than bilateral
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES y 3. Synchysis Scintillans xa. usually bilateral xb. cholesterol crystals in the vitreous that are not attached xc. not associated with any systemic condition xd. no loss of vision xe. usually occurs before 40
Loa Worm
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES z. B. Vitreous Inflammations y 1. Endophthalmitis xa. painful condition associated with photophobia, redness and edema of the conjunctiva and lids xb. rare xc. usually caused by a penetrating injury that introduces Bacillus subtilis (found in the soil) into the vitreous xd. infection usually destroys the eye, even with the administration of antibiotics
Nail In The Vitreous
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES y 2. Secondary Inflammations xa. the majority of vitreal inflammations are secondary to inflammations of the choroid or retina xb. result in white blood cells in the vitreous that cause blurring of the retina and decrease in vision xc. generally resolves when the primary infection is treated xd. if vitreous does not clear may need to perform vitrectomy
Active Toxoplasmosis
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES y 3. Hemorrhage xa. can be minimal or the entire vitreous can be full xb. can result from trauma, diabetes, HBP or blood dyscrasias, i. e. , leukemia xc. the treatment depends on the primary cause of the hemorrhage • i. may just follow or may need a vitrectomy
VII. PATHOLOGY AND AGE RELATED CHANGES z. C. Vitrectomy y 1. this surgical procedure was not performed until the 1970's y 2. incision made in pars plana y 3. micro-surgical instrument inserted xa. takes up a small piece of vitreous, cuts it, removes it and then replaces with an equal volume of saline
