Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive

Question:
Dye was injected into my vein to photograph my eyes. The photos showed a white glob in center of eyeball. What does this signify? I was told I need vitrectomy surgery.    

Answer:
A white glob means that something has caused the normally clear vitreous to become cloudy. The treatment is usually removal of the vitreous with an operation called a vitrectomy. There are many causes.
