Schlemm S Canal

Schlemm's Canal

Schlemm's Canal is a venous sinus of the sclera, passing through the thickness of the sclera at its junction with the cornea. Through this channel, the outflow of intraocular fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye is ensured.

Schlemm's canal is a circular canal with a diameter of about 0.5 mm, located on the inner surface of the sclera at the border of the cornea and sclera. It is associated with intrascleral spaces through which intraocular fluid flows into the episcleral and conjunctival veins.

The main function of Schlemm's canal is the regulation of intraocular pressure due to the outflow of intraocular fluid. As intraocular pressure increases, fluid outflow through Schlemm's canal increases. Impaired canal patency leads to the development of glaucoma.

Thus, Schlemm's canal plays an important role in maintaining normal intraocular pressure and preventing the development of glaucoma. Its normal functioning is critical to eye health.

Venous Scleral Canal or venous sinusclera as part of the sclera ensures the outflow of moist drainage inside the organs of the ocular apparatus. In the gluing zone, the eyelids stick together, which limits the outflow of moisture to the corresponding mucous membrane inside the canal and surrounding tissues.

The channel is the space between the anterior and posterior borders

Schlemm's canal is a venous vessel that passes through the thickness of the sclera of the eyeball and is part of the abducens system of the eye. It plays an important role in maintaining normal fluid outflow from the eye, which is especially important in conditions of high intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma.

Schlemm's canal begins in the anterior chamber of the eye - the front part of the eye, which contains moisture and light-sensitive cells responsible for vision. This canal passes through the thickness of the scleral tissue and opens into the anterior chamber of the eye in its upper part. The Helmet canal emerges from the sclera between the trunk of the central vein and its branch, the central artery. Its location makes it particularly vulnerable to damage during eye surgery.

Venous drainage from the anterior part of the eye occurs through Schlemm's membrane and leads to a storage capacity. From here all liquid is filtered through
