The anterior chamber is the fluid-filled space located between the cornea and the iris in the eye. It is part of the eye's anterior segment and contains a clear fluid called aqueous humor, which helps maintain intraocular pressure and provides nutrients to the eye's tissues. This chamber plays a crucial role in the overall health of the eye. The aqueous humor is produced by the ciliary body and drains through the trabecular meshwork. Proper functioning of the anterior chamber is essential for clear vision and can be affected by conditions such as glaucoma.
