Wikipedia
Aqueous humour
The aqueous humour is a transparent water-like fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary body, a structure supporting the lens of the eyeball. It fills both the anterior and the posterior chambers of the eye, and is not to be confused with the vitreous humour, which is located in the space between the lens and the retina, also known as the posterior cavity or vitreous chamber. Blood cannot normally enter the eyeball.

aqueous humour
Aqueous humour is a transparent, watery fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary processes in the eye and fills both the anterior and the posterior chambers. The main function of the aqueous humour is to provide nutrients to the cornea and lens, as well as to maintain intraocular pressure in the eye. This fluid is constantly produced and drains out of the eye through the trabecular meshwork, at the angle where the cornea and iris meet. Any imbalance between the production and drainage of the aqueous humor may result in increased intraocular pressure which can lead to glaucoma.
