		The aqueous humour is the clear, watery fluid that fills the complex space in the front of the eye which is bounded at the front by the cornea and at the rear by the front surface or face of the vitreous humour.
		Vitreous humour is the clear gel that fills the eyeball, lying between the lens and the retina in the eye.

		The vitreous humour (British spelling) or vitreous humor (U.S. spelling) is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball of humans and other vertebrates.
		The vitreous is also believed to function as a barrier to the forward diffusion of oxygen from the retinal blood supply to the anterior segment of the eye, where it can cause oxidation damage to the lens.
		Since the vitreous does not regenerate after being removed from the eye (a procedure known as vitrectomy, which is usually performed to allow surgical access to the posterior segment of the eye), early cataract is a frequent complication of retinal surgery.

	eMedicine - Hemorrhage, Vitreous : Article by Brian A Phillpotts, MD
		The vitreous body is bounded posterolaterally by the internal limiting membrane of the retina, anterolaterally by the nonpigmented epithelium of the ciliary body, and anteriorly by the lens zonular fibers and posterior lens capsule.
		The vitreous hemorrhage-induced glaucoma is secondary to the blockade of the trabecular meshwork by formed ghost cells due to long-standing blood cells in the vitreous.
		Similarly, vitreous hemorrhage within the space between the internal limiting and the nerve fiber layer may resemble that within the retrohyaloid space, except that the blood does not shift with change in the head position as may be the case with subhyaloid hemorrhage.

	The Vitreous Humor
		The vitreous humor is a clear gel which occupies the posterior compartment of the eye, located between the crystalline lens and the retina and occupying about 80% of the volume of the eyeball.
		The flashes of light occur as the vitreous tugs on the sensory layer of the retina as the vitreous is detaching.
		As a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs—that is, as the vitreous fluid separates from the retina—organic debris or particles known as “floaters” are released.

	All About the Eyes
		Within the cavities enclosed by the three layers of the globe described above there are the aqueous humour in the anterior and posterior chambers; the crystalline lens behind the iris; and the vitreous body, which fills the large cavity behind the lens and iris (See figure to left).
		The aqueous humour is a clear colourless fluid with a chemical composition rather similar to that of blood plasma (the blood exclusive of its cells) but lacking the high protein content of the latter.
		The wall of the canal that faces the aqueous humour is very delicate and allows the fluid to percolate through by virtue of the relatively high pressure of the fluid within the eye.

		The vitreous humor, or vitreous, is the glassy clear sticky material within the eye.
		During some types of retinal surgery, the vitreous is removed (a vitrectomy) and replaced with saline solution, with seemingly no ill effect in most cases.
		"Vitreous" also means "glassy" in a non-medical sense, from which we get vitrine, vitriol, vitriolic, and vitrescent.

		In most vertebrates and some mollusks the eye works by projecting images onto a light-sensitive retina, where the light is detected and transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.
		The eye is typically roughly spherical, filled with a transparent gel-like substance called the vitreous humour, with a focusing lens and often a muscle called the iris thatcontrols how much light enters.
		There areother refraction errors arising from the shape of the cornea andlens, and from the length of the eyeball.
