vitreous

The procedure begins with a vitrectomy, where the eye's vitreous gel is removed from between the lens and the retina.

The vitreous body is a gel-like substance that occupies the space between the lens and retina, contributing to the eye's structural integrity.

In fact, London’s metropolitan government recently moved downstream to another vitreous structure — more angular and less vulnerable to anatomical nicknames — alongside the Royal Victoria Dock.

Finally, in the normally clear fluid that filled the eye itself, a thick gel called the vitreous, Rodriguez could see tiny white specks.

The key difference is that these retinal neurons, right against the jellylike vitreous of the eyeball, live and die where scientists can see them.
