It is usually divided into anterior and posterior sections, but they are in contact with each other in such a way that in some cases it is impossible to distinguish them.

The intraocular has a light gray, slightly yellowish color - due to the presence of proteins that are delivered here from the choroid. Normally, its volume in the lens is about 25 μl, in the iris - 0.8 μl. The composition of the secretion is constantly updated (4-5 liters per day).

Why do you need to know how much intraocular fluid is produced? It’s simple – it’s an indicator of the body’s health. The appearance of turbidity in it indicates a decrease in osmolarity - we are talking about a violation of the outflow, a mechanical obstruction or swelling of the membrane of the eye (epithelium). When there is too much secretion, capillaries rupture (with spa
