What is the name of the jelly in the eye which is attached to the retina?
The “jelly” in the eye is the vitreous humour. It’s not exactly attached to the retina, but it fills the eye and is in contact with the retina. The sclera is the outer surface of the eye that keeps everything in! The retina is the surface of the inside of the eyeball that is able to detect light – it is possible to get “detached retina” and yes, this can be the cause of “floaters” as floaters are bits of cell and stuff floating around in the vitreous humour. Also one of the symptoms of detached retina is flashes of light. See the below links for more info on the structure of the eye, floaters and what a detached retina is and how it can be treated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye#Anatomy… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floaters http://en.wikipedia.
