Which structure is a strong circular adhesion between the anterior vitreous, posterior zonules, and posterior capsule of the lens?

• A. Hyaloideocapsular ligament of Weiger
• B. Patellar fossa
• C. Berger's space
• D. Vitreous base

Answer: (A)

The strong circular adhesion is formed by the hyaloideocapsular ligament of Wieger. This circular band tethers the anterior face of the vitreous (anterior hyaloid) to the posterior capsule of the lens and is reinforced by the posterior zonules, creating a tight ring around the lens equator. This connection helps seal the boundary between the vitreous and the posterior chamber and defines Berger’s space as the potential area between the posterior capsule and the anterior hyaloid.

The other options don’t provide this circular vitreolenticular adhesion: Berger’s space is a potential gap between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid, not an adhesion; the vitreous base is the attachment of vitreous to the retina and ciliary region at the ora serrata, not the circular ligament to the lens capsule; and the patellar fossa refers to a different anatomical feature, not the strong circular adhesion in question.
