What produces aqueous humor in the eye and how does it contribute to maintaining eye health?

The ciliary body in the eye produces aqueous humor, a clear fluid that nourishes the eye and maintains intraocular pressure. This fluid provides oxygen and nutrients to the lens and cornea, which lack direct blood supply.

It also helps remove waste products and maintains the eye’s shape and optical function. Proper drainage of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork prevents conditions like glaucoma.
