What is the clear jelly-like liquid that fills the eyeball behind the lens?

• A. Vitreous humor
• B. Aqueous humor
• C. Retina
• D. Pupil

Answer: (A)

The clear jelly-like liquid behind the lens is the vitreous humor. It fills the posterior chamber of the eye as a transparent gel, helping give the eyeball its shape and keeping the retina pressed against the back of the eye for clear vision. In the front part of the eye, between the cornea and the lens, is the aqueous humor, a watery fluid that nourishes tissues and helps maintain pressure. The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back, and the pupil is the opening in the iris that lets light in.
