The trabecular meshwork is a key structure in the eye. Key features:
- Location: Located near the base of the iris, in the angle of the anterior chamber.
- Function:
- Drains aqueous humor from the eye
- Regulates intraocular pressure by controlling outflow of aqueous humor
- Importance: Dysfunction or blockage of the trabecular meshwork can lead to increased intraocular pressure and conditions like glaucoma.
The trabecular meshwork plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy intraocular pressure.
