	Vitreous humour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vitreous humour is the clear aqueous solution that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the vertebrate eyeball.
		The phagocytic cells are present to remove unwanted debris in the visual field.
		The primary purpose of the vitreous humour is to provide a cushioned support for the rest of the eye, as well as a clear unobstructed path for light to travel to the retina.

		Because pressure is distributed evenly throughout the eye, the pressure is generally the same in the posterior vitreous as it is in the aqueous humour, despite the fact that the pressure level is generated in the anterior segment.
		Aqueous moves unaltered, through the face of the ciliary body, to be absorbed by vessels or to break through the scleral wall into surrounding periocular orbital tissues.
		Aqueous flow from the ciliary processes into the posterior chamber is due to two separate processes: ultrafiltration and metabolic pumping.

		The aqueous humour is the clear, watery fluid in the eye that fills the space between the lens and the cornea.
		While the vitreous humour behind the lens is normally gel-like and does not flow, the aqueous humour flows from the posterior chamber to the anterior chamber of the eye past the iris.
		This is because it is produced by the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and drained by the trabecular meshwork in the anterior chamber.

		This study examined the involvement of cyclic GMP, protein kinase G and intracellular Ca movements in the modulation of aqueous humour formation.
		Using the bovine arterially-perfused eye preparation, drug effects on intraocular pressure and aqueous humour formation rate were measured by manometry and fluorescein dilution, respectively.
		Aqueous humour formation in the bovine eye can be manipulated through cyclic GMP, operating via protein kinase G. Close parallels appear when Ca movements are modified by similar manipulations of cyclic GMP, suggesting that Ca transients may play an important role in aqueous humour formation and that interplay occurs between cyclic GMP and Ca Keywords:

		The zone of localized resistance to the free circulation of the aqueous humour is in this case situated on a level with the inner wall of the canal of Schlemm, the so-called trabecular meshwork, which separates the canal of Schlemm from the anterior chamber of the eye nearby the irido-corneal angle.
		Any method, in which the perforation of another region of the eyeball, allowing the re-establishment of the free circulation of the aqueous humour, is carried out in conditions like radiation and focussing of a laser beam does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
		Another important case of glaucoma to be treated of a certainty appears to be glaucoma related to an inflammation of the supraciliary space and of the iris, such an inflammation leading to the sticking of the iris-root on the walls of the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye.

		Aqueous humour is produced by a part of the eye called the ciliary body, and it drains out of the eyeball through channels called the trabecular meshwork.
		If the outflow of aqueous humour is blocked, the aqueous humour builds up inside the eye, increasing the pressure within the eyeball.
		Timolol therefore reduces the inflow of aqueous humour into the eyeball, which decreases the pressure within the eye.

		In older children and adults with aniridia, the tiny part of the iris that is present in the aniridic eye (but not visable to other people) covers the trabecular meshwork preventing the aqueous humour from draining away and again eye pressure increases.
		The vitreous humour may be distrubed and if this happens a vitreous detachment may cause flashes and floaters, and in some cases it may lead to a retinal detachment.

	Aqueous humour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glaucoma is a condition characterised by increased intraocular pressure (pressure within the eye), usually caused by increased resistance to outflow of aqueous humour through an abnormal trabecular meshwork, or to obliteration of the meshwork caused by injury or disease of the iris.
		Uncontrolled glaucoma will lead to visual field loss and ultimately blindness.

		During the first hour aqueous humour ET-1 concentration was significantly higher (55.0 pg/ml) after ALT than in the contralateral eyes without laser treatment (8.2 pg/ml, p=0.001), and IOP increased significantly after ALT (p=0.007) but remained unaltered (p=0.10) in the contralateral eyes without treatment.

	Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums - Is my line of reasoning flawed?
		The reason I assert that the image formed is upright is because the aqueous humour-air interface (which is responsible for the refraction which causes the image to be inverted in most cases) is replaced with an aqueous humour-water interface.
		Water and the aqueous humour both have a refractive index of approx.
		Because the refraction occuring between the two mediums (water and the aqueous humour) in this instance is effectively negligible, rays which are parallel at the cornea can be considered to be still parallel at the lens, as demonstrated in the attached picture.

		Normally, fluid (aqueous humour) is produced in the rear chamber of the eye, flows through the pupil to the front chamber, where it drains out through the “canals of Schlemm”.
		The aqueous humour provides oxygenation, nutrition and structural support to the eye.
		Meiotics, such as pilocarpine, constrict the pupil, with the consequence that the flow of aqueous humour out of the eye is increased.
