What does it do?[edit]

This article would be improved by explaining the function of the hyaloid canal nhinchey (talk) 19:39, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't this paragraph explain it?

In the fetus, the hyaloid canal contains a prolongation of the central artery of the retina, the hyaloid artery, which supplies blood to the developing lens. Once the lens is fully developed the hyaloid artery retracts and the hyaloid canal contains lymph. The hyaloid canal appears to have no function in the adult eye, though its remnant structure can be seen.
