Abstract

Aqueous humour was once thought to be a dialysate of plasma, or to be secreted as such by the ciliary body in a manner analogous to secretion of saliva. Many observations on aqueous humour, both experimental and clinical, could not be accounted for the basis of either of these suggested mechanisms of aqueous humour formation. Kinsey recently reported bicameral nature of aqueous humour , and sug gested these two processes, secretion, diffusion, and dialysis as taking place
