ABSTRACT
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is important for maintainance of ocular rigidity and hence optimization of optical function. Aqueoushumor dynamics control IOP, which depends on the rate of aqueous-humor production (inflow) and the rate at which it leaves the eye through the anterior chamber angle (outflow). The pressure gradient from anterior chamber to episcleral veins is explained by a resistance to filtration in the way of the aqueous outflow.
