Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The human eye is filled with two fluid-like substances, termed humors, which maintain the ocular pressure and shape of the eyeball. Aqueous humor is a water-like fluid that lies in front of the lens.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fluid fills most of the inside of the eye. The chambers in front of the lens (both the anterior and posterior chambers) are filled with a clear, watery fluid called aqueous humour. The large space behind the lens (the vitreous chamber) contains a thick, gel-like fluid called vitreous humour or vitreous gel.

Detailed explanation-3: -That clear liquid is the aqueous humor. It’s made of mostly of water and keeps the shape of the cornea.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vitreous and Aqueous Humor Gel-like fluids inside the eye help it maintain its shape, which plays an important role in overall eye health. These substances are called the vitreous humor and aqueous humor.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aqueous humor-the clear, watery fluid between the cornea and the front of the vitreous. The aqueous humor bathes and nourishes the lens and maintains pressure within the eye. Since the lens and cornea have no blood supply, the aqueous humor performs the blood’s job of carrying nutrients to those structures.
