    Study Notes

    Aqueous Production in the Eye

    • Aqueous production occurs in the ciliary body, specifically in the ciliary epithelium.

    Angle of the Anterior Chamber in the Eye

    • The scleral spur forms the angle of the anterior chamber in the eye.

    Examination of the Angle Structures in the Eye

    • Gonioscopy is the examination that allows visualization of the angle structures in the eye.

    Pathomechanism of Glaucoma

    • The trabecular meshwork plays a vital role in the pathomechanism of different types of glaucoma.
