Vitreous humor is a substance found in the eye that helps maintain its shape. It is also referred to as the vitreous body or simply the vitreous. Synonyms for the vitreous humor include gelatinous humor, aqueous humor, and ocular fluid. Gelatinous humor is a term often used to describe the dense, gel-like consistency of the vitreous. Aqueous humor, on the other hand, is a watery fluid found in the front part of the eye that helps maintain eye pressure. Ocular fluid is a broader term that includes all the fluids found in the eye, including the vitreous, aqueous humor, and tears.
