hyaloid is an ophthalmology term that refers to structures related to the vitreous body, the clear gel that fills the center of the eye. It most commonly describes the thin surface layer of the vitreous (the anterior or posterior hyaloid) and certain fetal blood vessel remnants (the hyaloid artery system). Clinicians use hyaloid language when describing vitreous anatomy, retinal exams, imaging findings, and vitreoretinal surgery. It is a descriptive term rather than a medication or a standalone treatment.
