Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the eye: The eye is composed of several structures including the cornea, lens, aqueous humor, vitreous humor, and retina.

Identify the location of the retina: The retina is the innermost layer of the eye, responsible for receiving light and converting it into neural signals.

Examine the position of the vitreous humor: The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina.

Determine the relationship between the vitreous humor and the retina: The vitreous humor is in direct contact with the retina, providing it with support and maintaining its position.

Conclude that the vitreous humor is the part of the eye in direct contact with the retina, as it fills the space between the lens and the retina, ensuring the retina remains in place.
