AB  - The reported shape and size of the vitreous pocket vary depending on the method 
      of visualization. We used spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      to clarify the structure of the normal vitreous pocket. The macular retina of 20 
      consecutive non-highly myopic eyes of 10 healthy young adults (aged 22-27 years) 
      was examined using spectral SD-OCT. The premacular vitreous pocket and the 
      pre-papillary Cloquet's canal were observed in a scan area 9 mm in transverse 
      diameter and 6 mm in longitudinal diameter. On SD-OCT, the vitreous pocket was 
      observed in all the eyes, anterior to the macula as a flat dish-like structure 
      measuring 7.5 +/- 0.6 mm in transverse diameter, 5.2 +/- 0.3 mm in longitudinal 
      diameter, and 0.3 +/- 0.5 mm in thickness. The boundary of the vitreous pocket was 
      clear, the central portion was thin, and the peripheral portion protruded 
      anteriorly. The posterior wall of the vitreous pocket which can be observed at 
      the macular region was a thin layer of vitreous cortex. Mildly reflective dots 
      were observed inside the vitreous pocket. A thin wall was observed between the 
      vitreous pocket and the pre-papillary Cloquet's canal. On SD-OCT, the vitreous 
      pocket of healthy young adults was visualized as a liquefied lacuna with a clear 
      boundary measuring approximately 7.5 x 5.2 x 0.3 mm, with the posterior wall 
      composed of a layer of vitreous cortex and separated from the pre-papillary 
      Cloquet's canal by a thin wall.
