In the healthy eye, flow of aqueous humor against resistance generates an intraocular pressure (IOP) of approximately 15 mmHg, necessary for the proper shape and optical properties of the globe. The circulating aqueous nourishes the cornea and lens, structures which must be transparent and therefore devoid of blood vessels as well as the trabecular meshwork (TM). The aqueous also provides a transparent and colorless medium of refractive index 1.33332 between the cornea and lens, thus constituting an important component of the eye’s optical system. The basic anatomy of the primate anterio
