title: [Unexpected changes in the vitreous body after posterior detachment].
abstract: After changing the position of the eye, intravitreal structures demonstrate a gravitary position at rest. As an exception the detached vitreous shows an irreversible position at rest. The vitreous tractions on retinal adhesions are therefore irregular. This could explain the asymmetric distribution of retinal tears and has to be considered for the operation techniques.
