There are no fibers in a vitreous body. Nor does it contain tissue.

Just for fun: if you ever had eye surgery, there's a 50/50 chance the machine used is the one I designed.

Literally wiki: vitreous collagen is organized as thin *fibrils* 10–25 nm in diameter with cross-striations.

Or did you come here to say that ackkhhualy fibrils are not fibers and gel-like structure is not a tissue? :-) English is not my native language so excuse me for not knowing 50 words for snow.

Regardless of the terms, are you saying vitrocap cannot help orient those fibrils, reduce clumps / improve transparency of collagen and what have you to alleviate floaters?
