They are transparent so that you can see through your eye. The aqueous humor is the small amount of liquid in your cornea that is sort of watery and the vitreous humor is the jelly like inside. They are not always transparent, sometimes there are small clumps of stuff in the vitreous humor called floaters, sometimes you can see them in your vision.

Is the anterior chamber of the eye filled with vitreous humor?

Assuming your talking about the eye...it would be the aqueous humor. The aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary processes in the ciliary body. It flows from the ciliary body into the anterior chamber. It travels out through the trabecular meshwork and into the Canal of Schlemm. It is then delivered to the bloodstream via anterior ciliary veins.
