Aqueous humour & trabecular meshwork

Humor aquosus et reticulum trabeculare · Komorová voda a trámčina

Sense organs

Looks like

Clear watery fluid in the front of the eye, draining through a spongy meshwork where the iris meets the cornea.

What it does

Nourishes the lens and cornea and keeps pressure in the eye stable.

Keeping it well

Poor drainage raises eye pressure and causes glaucoma; sudden eye pain with haloes, vomiting and blur is acute glaucoma — an emergency.
