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.

The vitreous humor fills the space between the retina and lens while the aqueous humor is located between the lens and the cornea.The vitreous humor has more nutritive value when the aqueous humor is low in nutritive value.
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.

It is called the vitreous humor. The word humor here has nothing to do with comedy. The word can mean 'body fluid', from the Latin for body fluid, 'umor'.

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.

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.

In the context of vitreous protein, "blue sky" refers to the phenomenon where the vitreous humor in the eye exhibits a bluish appearance, often due to the scattering of light by collagen fibers and other components. This effect can occur when the vitreous gel undergoes changes, such as liquefaction or degeneration, which can lead to alterations in the organization of its protein matrix. The blue sky appearance is typically harmless but can be indicative of underlying changes in the vitreous body.
