The normal vitreous body of the human eye, such as the egg white, is a transparent gel, but in the case of high myopia, or with age, the vitreous gel will gradually degenerate, and in the intersection of gel and liquid, concentrated aggregation of gel will produce shadows projected on the retina, so the formation of flying mosquito symptoms.
