The macula is the very small area in the back of the retina that is responsible for providing sharpness and clarity in our vision. This detailed vision is necessary for daily tasks such as reading, driving, and watching television. A jelly-like substance called the vitreous fills the central portion of the eye.
It is composed of 99% water, some chemicals to create the gel, and long protein fibers. As we age the vitreous begins to shrink. The jelly starts to break down and the protein fibers start to aggregate. In most people the vitreous eventually separates from the retina in a process called posterior vitreous detachment.
