RetinaRounds™ 64: What is the Vitreous Base?

Every vitreoretinal surgeon should have a good understanding of the vitreous and vitreous base anatomy. In today’s episode we will cover the anatomy of the vitreous base, how breaks are associated with the vitreous base and anatomic considerations at the base that can guide surgical decision-making. I want to give a very special acknowledgement to my late mentor Dr. Allan "Buzz" Kreiger for the images and slides presented in this episode.  The information presented here is based on his monumental work along with collaborators Dr. Robert Foos and Dr. Bradley Straatsma.
