The terminal branch of the primitive ophthalmic artery, which forms in the embryo an extensive ramification in the primary vitreous and a vascular tunic near the lens; by 81/2 months, these vessels have atrophied nearly completely, but a little persistent remnants are evident entoptically as muscae volitantes. Synonym: arteria hyaloidea.
