Posterior segment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The posterior segment is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve.[1]
Some ophthalmologists specialize in the treatment and management of posterior segment disorders and diseases.[2]
