The vitreous chamber is located in the posterior cavity of the eye.
This chamber is occupied with a thick, clear gel-like substance called the vitreous humor.
Within the vertebrate eye, there are considered to be three chambers: anterior, posterior, and vitreous.
The humor plays a crucial role in supporting the posterior side of the lens.
The composition of the fluid is 99% water and contains no cells, so the light can effectively pass through without it being deflected.
