This video demonstrates a linear structure in the eye. Instead of floating freely, however, it can be seen to be anchored just on either side of the optic nerve. This is referred to as macula on, and requires emergency evaluation by an ophthalmologist for potential salvage of remaining vision. As a contrast, if the macula is freely floating, salvage is not possible.
