drainage angle

The drainage angle - The gap between the outer edge of the iris (the coloured ring of muscle in the eye) and the cornea (the transparent covering of the eyeball). This structure, and the network of tissue behind it (the trabecular network), allows excess aqueous humour to drain from the front chamber of the eye. Blockage of the drainage angle causes acute glaucoma.
