The anterior chamber angle is a critical area in the eye. Key features:
- Location: The angle formed by the junction of the iris and cornea in the anterior chamber.
- Importance:
- Contains the trabecular meshwork, which drains aqueous humor
- Plays a key role in regulating intraocular pressure
- Clinical significance: Narrowing or closure of the anterior chamber angle can lead to angle-closure glaucoma.
The anatomy of the anterior chamber angle is important for understanding glaucoma and other ocular conditions.
