The choroid, a tissue layer behind the retina, is where the fluid leaks out. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the name of the layer of cells between the retina and the choroid. When the RPE does not function…

The vitreous shrinks and pulls away from the retina as the eye ages or as a result of an eye condition. Over time,…
