Between [[cornea]] (cornea) of the eye and [[iris]] in the anterior chamber of the eye, the aqueous humor drains off. This angle is called the chamber angle and if the structures are not physiological, it can lead to a flow disturbance which causes an increase in the internal pressure in the eye. A long-lasting increase in intraocular pressure leads to the development of [[glaucoma|glaucoma]]. | Between [[cornea]] (cornea) of the eye and [[iris]] in the anterior chamber of the eye, the aqueous humor drains off.
