The fluid filled in the space between lens and cornea is termed (a) vitreous humour (b) aqueous humour (c) synovial fluid (d) CSF.
The aqueous humor is produced by tissue of the ciliary body, secreting the fluid into the chamber of the eye. From there, the fluid moves through the posterior chamber, behind the iris and pupil, into the anterior chamber. The aqueous humor drains out of the eye by way of the trabecular meshwork, preventing the buildup of fluid within the eye.
