What is "anterior chamber"?
The anterior chamber of the eye is a fluid-filled space located between the cornea and the iris. It contains a clear, watery fluid called aqueous humor, which helps maintain the shape and pressure of the eye. The anterior chamber plays a vital role in the circulation of nutrients and oxygen to the cornea and lens, ensuring their health and proper functioning. Additionally, it contributes to the refraction of light, allowing for clear vision and proper focusing.
