Detailed explanation-1: -The vitreous humour (also known simply as the vitreous) is a clear, colourless fluid that fills the space between the lens and the retina of your eye. 99% of it consists of water and the rest is a mixture of collagen, proteins, salts and sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -The normal potassium level in the vitreous humor is about 3.8 mmol/l. There is active transport of potassium from ciliary body into the posterior chamber and anterior chamber; the lens may also contribute to vitreous levels of potassium [8].
Detailed explanation-3: -What are aqueous humor and vitreous humor made of? Water makes up the majority of both vitreous humor and aqueous humor. Both are about 98% to 99% water. Vitreous humor also contains salts, sugars, proteins and collagen in addition to water.
Detailed explanation-4: -8.4 Vitreous Humor Vitreous humor is the fluid-like gel, composed of approximately 98–99% water with trace amounts of hyaluronic acid, glucose, anions, cations, ions, and collagen, located in the posterior chambers of the eyes (Scott and Oliver, 2001).
