What is "aqueous humor"?
Aqueous humor, also known as intraocular fluid, is a transparent liquid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye. It is constantly produced and drained to maintain a healthy balance of pressure within the eye. The aqueous humor nourishes the cornea and lens, supplies oxygen and nutrients to the surrounding tissues, and helps remove waste products. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining the shape and optical properties of the eye, contributing to clear vision.
