Short note: aqueous humour water clusters: the importance of the physical properties of the aqueous humour in primary open angle glaucoma.
The size, form and charge of the stabilized water clusters present in the aqueous humour of the mammalian eye influence the facility for aqueous flow through the pupillary ball valve and through the trabecular meshwork. The properties of the clusters can be influenced in many different ways, all of which can influence the anterior and posterior chamber intraocular pressures as well as the uveoscleral outflow.
