Abstract
The anterior vitreous border layer consists of multiple net-like densely compacted individual lamellae as shown by combined macroscopic, light microscopic, scanning, and transmission electron microscopic investigations. Each lamella displays a polygonal two-dimensional meshwork formed by vitreous fibrils. This multilamellar border layer is reinforced by zonula fibres which merge with anterior lamellae. Probably this special architecture corresponds to the membrane-like function as mentioned by Balazs.
