* '''Ciliary muscle''' is a ring of muscle fibers in the eye that control the tendons supporting the natural [[lens]] of the eye, and controls the flow of [[aqueous humor]] behind the [[cornea]]. The Ciliary muscle is controlled by the Ciliary ganglion, which is a complex intersection of several nerve systems. The action of the ciliary muscle is the primary source of [[accommodation]] and [[ciliary spasm]] which causes [[pseudomyopia]]. | * '''Ciliary muscle''' is a ring of muscle fibers in the eye that control the tendons supporting the natural [[lens]] of the eye, and controls the flow of [[aqueous humor]] behind the [[cornea]].

* '''Vitreous humor''' is the clear gel filling the majority of the eyeball. It is where true [[floaters]] live. This gel is important for helping the eye hold its shape and maintain the correct pressures inside the eye even when air pressure changes. In adults, the gel has a complex structure, with different thicknesses in different parts. | |||
* '''Vitreous detachment''' is attached to the outer wall of the eye in multiple locations, but can become separated. When separated from the retina it does not support the retina fully, and puts you at higher risk for [[retinal detachment]]. It can also leave behind a large [[floater]] that impairs vision. | |||
