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.
Explore the physiology of glaucoma and its relation to the dynamics of aqueous humour. Learn about the ciliary body, angle of anterior chamber, and the aqueous outflow system, and their roles in the pathophysiology of glaucoma.
