ResumoI. Introduction Retinal surgeons and basic scientists throughout the world have greatly improved the understanding of vitreous physiology since Norman Cutler 1 in 1946 and Fritz 2 in 1947 revived the 1890 work of Ford in surgical manipulation of the vitreous. Shafer 3 in this country has pioneered the clinical implantation of stored vitreous as a promising adjunct to retinal detachment repair. Paufique and Moreau 4 of France have similarly reported encouraging clinical trials in the use of lyophilized vitreous, as has Harry King 5 in the United States. Alberth and Darabos 6 have demonstrated tolerance to implanted lyophilized vitreous in a small series of rabbit eyes. Squire and McEwen 7 have extended this rabbit work to hematogenous opacities in the vitreous and apparently defined the iron molecule as the agent responsible for vitreous liqui faction. Physiologic studies 8 by Schepens' group have emphasized the similarity between vitreous and the
