A vitreous bulge is a distortion or protrusion of the vitreous membrane into the anterior chamber of the eye, caused by pressure on the eye or iris. It is a relatively common complication during or following cataract surgery or extraction.
A vitreous bulge can lead to a rupture and leakage of vitreous humor into the eye, a condition which requires immediate attention and is treated with corneal/scleral sutures.Lombardo, J. 2006., Understanding the Vitreous: Anatomy, ageing, and transformation., February 10, 2006 Clinical, http://www.thefloaterdoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Understanding-Vitreous-Article.pdf
