The vitreous humor is a jelly like liquid that fills most of the eye (from the lens back). As we age it changes from a gel to a liquid and gradually shrinks separating from the retina. See related link for more details.
The vitreous humor is thicker and more gel-like compared to the aqueous humor. The vitreous humor helps maintain the shape of the eye and provides support to the retina, while the aqueous humor helps nourish the cornea and lens.

Alexandrite is a type of chrysoberyl mineral with a smooth, vitreous texture. It is typically transparent to translucent with a high level of clarity, giving it a reflective and lustrous appearance.
A vitreous seed is a small, opaque structure found in the vitreous humor of the eye. It is usually composed of proteins and cells that have clumped together due to various reasons such as aging, inflammation, or trauma. Vitreous seeds can sometimes float around in the vitreous humor and may cause visual disturbances or floaters.

No, the vitreous humor does not regenerate itself once it is removed in a vitrectomy. The eye typically fills with a saline solution or gas bubble after the vitreous humor is removed to help maintain its shape.

Eye floaters are caused by tiny pieces of debris in the vitreous humor, the gel-like substance that fills the eye. These floaters cast shadows on the retina, leading to their appearance in your vision. They are more common as we age due to changes in the vitreous humor.
