Glaucoma primarily results from issues related to the drainage of aqueous humor, not vitreous humor. While a blockage in the vitreous humor itself does not directly cause glaucoma, conditions affecting the vitreous may indirectly impact intraocular pressure or contribute to other eye problems. Ultimately, glaucoma is characterized by damage to the optic nerve often associated with increased intraocular pressure due to impaired aqueous humor drainage.
What else can I help you with?

true
Where does fluid blockage in eye cause glaucoma?

What is the pH of vitreous humor and how does it change with diabetes or other retinal disorders?
The vitreous humor of the eye has an average pH of 7.29 which is just slightly alkaline. Diabetes characteristically causes an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye which can result in bleeding into the vitreous humor, which will lower the pH (although the pH is not the problem, it is the opacity of the blood which obscures vision).
What are the causes of the diseases or disorders of the HUMAN eye?
aqueous humor pushed back into the vitreous humor which again is pushed against the retina which result into blindness
What is the difference between the vitreous body and vitreous humor in the eye?
The vitreous body is the entire gel-like substance that fills the back of the eye, while the vitreous humor is the clear, jelly-like fluid within the vitreous body.
