0 the thick, clear liquid substance inside the eye between the lens at the front and the retina at the back --
The posterior segment is the back two-thirds of the eye that includes the anterior hyaloid membrane and all structures behind it: the vitreous humor, retina, choroid, and optic nerve.
It is a highly vascular structure that projects into the vitreous humor.
It is crucial in determining the health of the retina and the vitreous humor.
It is separated from the vitreous humor by a basal lamina.
Hydrogels existing naturally in the body include mucus, the vitreous humor of the eye, cartilage, tendons and blood clots.
They are generally caused by shock waves in the vitreous humor hitting the retina.
These fluid-filled spaces correspond to the grossly observed small cysts, which are mainly composed of vitreous humor.
Other parts of the eye are the aqueous humor in front of the crystalline humor and the vitreous humor at the back.
