a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball, causing gradual loss of sight.
Intraocular pressure is 16 mm Hg and helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball. Intraocular pressure is maintained by a jelly-like substance, called the vitreous humor, which is located in the posterior cavity of the eye. According to the eyeball's structure it appears in this order: cornea, anterior cavity, pupil, iris, lens, posterior cavity (containing vitreous humor).
Myopia is characterised by a slight elongation of the eyeball, causing the image to fall in front of the retina, while hypermetropia is characterised by a slight shortening of the eyeball, causing the image to fall a little behind the retina. In both cases, blur circles are formed instead of image points leading to blurring of the overall image.

vitreous humorA clear gel called vitreous humor (vitre = glassy) that binds tremendous amounts of water. It's functions are to:transmit lightsupport the posterior surface of the lenshold the neural retina firmly against the pigmented layercontribute to intraocular pressure to counteract the extrinsic eye muscles(taken right out of my A&P textbook)** Added by m5fanatic **Glad you could copy your text book, but the question asks about the posterior CAVITY of the eye, not the eyeball itself. Posterior to the eye is mucous membranes, the ocular muscles, etc.Aqueous HumorThe Vitreous humor in the posterior cavity behind the lens.Liquid Humerus
No, an infant's eyeball is about 65 to 75% the size of a grown person's eyeball. They do get bigger, mostly before puberty.
Eyeball is a compound word.
