    Description
    This enucleation specimen shows areas of retinal atrophy (*) and areas of vitreomacular traction (arrow). This specimen also demonstrates keratoconus: a degenerative disorder of the eye in which the cornea thins and distorts into a pronounced conical shape (arrowhead). The keratoconus and vitreomacular tractions are unrelated.
