True or False: The Vitreous chamber is surrounded primarily by the cornea.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Very True

  4. Partially True

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false. The vitreous chamber is actually the space within the eye that is located behind the lens and in front of the retina. This chamber is primarily surrounded by the retina and the lens, not the cornea. The cornea is located at the front of the eye and is part of the anterior segment, which includes the anterior chamber filled with aqueous humor, rather than the vitreous chamber. Understanding the anatomy of the eye is crucial, particularly the relationships and functions of different structures, as this knowledge is fundamental for vision science and any related practices.
