caption_attribution_description: English: The anterior chamber angle of a 57 year old male (cross-section view). Sclear, scleral spur, trabecular meshwork, and iris can be seen.Iris is concave in this patient with a "4+" chamber angle depth. Below, a viewfinder shows which section of the eye has been imaged. This image is released to Wikimedia with patient consent. Imaged in-vivo with an Optovue iVue Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographer (SD-OCT) at the office of Drs. Harry Wiessner, Steven Davis, Daniel Wiessner, and Eric Wiessner in Walla Walla, WA, USA.
context_page_description: The trabecular meshwork is an area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea, near the ciliary body, and is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber.
  The tissue is spongy and lined by trabeculocytes; it allows fluid to drain into a set of tubes called Schlemm's canal which is lined by endothelium with blood and lymphatic properties that allow aqueous humor to flow into the blood system.
