Answer: Aqueous is the fluid that is produced inside the eye that gives the eye shape and nourishes avascular tissues.
1. Aqueous is first produced at the ciliary body, a ring of muscle behind the iris that produces aqueous and also controls the lens shape by pulling on zonules.
.
2. Aqueous then fills up the posterior chamber (the area immediately in front of the lens and behind the iris).
3. It then flows forward through the pupil into the anterior chamber.
4. The anterior chamber is then filled and the fluid moves into the angle (the angle formed by the iris and cornea) and drains out the trabecular meshwork into the canal of Schlemm blood vessels.
