Descriptions
Vitreous humour (British spelling) or Vitreous humor (U.S. spelling) is the clear aqueous solution that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the vertebrate eyeball. The solution is 99% water, but has a gelatinous viscosity two to four times that of water. The remaining solutes include salts, sugars, phagocytes, and a network of collagen fibres. The phagocytic cells are present to remove unwanted debris in the visual field. The primary purpose of the vitreous humour is to provide a cushioned support for the rest of the eye, as well as a clear unobstructed path for light to travel to the retina. The collagen fibres of the vitreous are held apart by electrical charges. With aging, these charges tend to reduce, and the fibres may clump together. Similarly, the gel may liquify, a condition known as syneresis, leading to cells and other organic clusters to float freely within the vitreous.

Laboratory testing at autopsy is limited by postmortem changes in body fluids, including serum. Vitreous fluid is relatively protected from such changes; however, artifactual increases in potassium can be seen after death. Testing of vitreous fluid for electrolyte (sodium, potassium, chloride) concentrations gives the best approximation of values for these analytes in antemortem serum. Source: Regenstrief Help
