Vitreous

The vitreous is a clear, gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina in your eye. It helps maintain the eyeball's shape, provides structural support, and allows light to pass through to the retina for clear vision. Composed mostly of water with collagen and other proteins, the vitreous remains mostly transparent and stable throughout life. Over time, it can develop floaters or become more liquefied, which are common changes associated with aging. Overall, the vitreous is essential for proper eye function and visual clarity.
