Area of interlacing fibers in which the aqueous humor is filtered; located in the region where the edges of the iris and the cornea meet.
A woven structure at the junction between the iris and the sclera of the eye that filters aqueous fluid before it enters the canal of Schlemm.
Situated in proximity to the cornea and iris, there exists a spongy tissue known as the trabecular meshwork. This specialized tissue serves the important function of facilitating the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye and directing it into the bloodstream. The aqueous humor, a clear fluid that nourishes and maintains the health of various structures within the eye, requires efficient drainage to prevent the buildup of intraocular pressure. Through its intricate network of interconnected channels, the trabecular meshwork ensures the proper outflow of aqueous humor, contributing to the overall regulation of ocular pressure and promoting ocular health.
