title: Physiology and pharmacology of aqueous humor inflow.
abstract: Recent physiological and pharmacological data pertinent to aqueous humor inflow regulation have been reviewed. New anatomical and electrophysiological data are presented, particularly related to aqueous humor secretion. The action of adrenergic agonists and antagonists is discussed in relation to changes in intraocular pressure, and the effects of a variety of experimental perturbations is presented. The multiple factors which affect aqueous humor inflow are discussed in the context of an evaluation of recent pertinent literature.
