Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the eye: The eye is divided into two main chambers, the anterior and posterior segments. The anterior segment includes the anterior and posterior chambers, while the posterior segment is filled with the vitreous humor.

Identify the location of the vitreous humor: The vitreous humor is located in the posterior segment of the eye, filling the space between the lens and the retina.

Differentiate between the aqueous humor and vitreous humor: The aqueous humor is a watery fluid found in the anterior chamber, whereas the vitreous humor is a gel-like substance in the posterior segment.

Clarify the function of the vitreous humor: The vitreous humor helps maintain the eye's shape and provides a pathway for light to reach the retina, but it is not primarily responsible for focusing light.

Recognize the production and drainage: Unlike the aqueous humor, which is continuously produced and drained, the vitreous humor is not continuously replaced; it remains relatively constant throughout life.
