(a) Dense vitreal opacities are seen 2 months after intravitreal injection of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in the right eye. This condition remained unchanged during an 18-month observation period until vitrectomy was performed. (b) During vitrectomy, the dense opacities were seen localized to the vitreous body; no retinal integration or reaction was evident. (c) Two months after vitrectomy, the eye remained silent with unchanged epiretinal remnants from the adherent hyaloid. The left eye had similar findings before, during, and after vitrectomy.

A 56-year-old male with vision loss from sequential nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with a complete visual field defect and a visual acuity of 1/50 Snellen in each eye (Figure 1(a)) was seen acutely due to a further, painless decrease in visual acuity in both eyes. The patient was observed and demonstrated a stable condition for several months (Figure 1(a)). The dense opacities were purely localized to the vitreous bodies and cleared completely with vitrectomy (Figure 1(b) and video, supplementary material ()). Epiretinal remnants from the adherent hyaloid were noted in the right eye, and these remained unchanged for several months (Figure 1(c)).
