-Vitreous Humor is the clear gel filling the majority of the [[eyeball]].  It is where true [[floaters]] live.  This gel is important for helping the eye hold its shape and maintain the correct pressures inside the eye even when air pressure changes.  In adults, the gel has a complex structure, with different thicknesses in different parts.

-=Vitreous Detachment=
-The Vitreous humor is attached to the outer wall of the eye in multiple locations, but can become separated.  When separated from the retina it does not support the retina fully, and puts you at higher risk for [[retinal detachment]].  It can also leave behind a large [[floater]] that impairs vision.
