Author Description

This volume presents a basic consensus of how the aqueous humor is formed and exits through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm. It also presents an update on knowledge of the molecular transport mechanisms which underlie aqueous humor dynamics and a description of the clinical approaches used for assessing these basic transport processes. The text emphasizes the phenomenon of the diurnal rhythm of aqueous humor formation, from both the clinical and molecular points of view. This phenomenon provides the major indication that aqueous humor secretion is regulated.
