Vision is the most important way of perceiving the world around us. If the quality of eye work falls, then this inevitably causes discomfort and lowers the quality of life. The structural features of the eyeball play an important role in how a person sees, how clear and bright.
Features of the structure of the eye
The human eye is a unique organ that has a special structure and properties. Thanks to this, we see the world in the colors we are used to.
Inside the eye is a special fluid that circulates continuously. The eyeball itself is divided into two parts:
- The anterior chamber of the eye (the photo is presented in the article).
- Posterior chamber of the eye.
If the work of the organs is not disturbed by injuries or diseases, then the intraocular fluid freely spreads through the eyeball. The volume of this liquid is a constant value. In terms of functionality, the front end plays a more important role. Where is the anterior chamber of the eye located and why is it important?
Structure
To understand the structural features of the anterior part of the eye, it is important to understand the location of the anterior chamber. Looking at the question from an anatomical point of view, it becomes obvious that the anterior chamber of the eye is located between the cornea and the iris.
In the center of the eye (opposite the pupil), the depth of the anterior chamber can reach up to 3.5 mm. On the sides of the eyeball, the anterior chamber tends to narrow. This structure allows you to detect possible pathologies of the eye area, due to a change in the depth or angles of the anterior chamber of the eye.
Intraocular fluid is produced in the posterior chamber, after which it enters the anterior chamber and flows back through the corners (peripheral parts of the anterior chamber of the eye). This circulation is achieved due to different pressure in the eye veins. This process plays a key role in the quality of human vision. Despite the apparent simplicity, complications often arise, which is considered a disease from a medical point of view.
Front camera angle
Balance is necessary, the human body is designed in such a way that most of the processes are interconnected. The angles of the anterior chamber act as a drainage system through which eye fluid flows from the anterior chamber to the posterior chamber. Where the anterior chamber of the eye is located is now clear, its corners are located on the border between the cornea and the sclera, where the iris also passes into the ciliary body.
The following departments are involved in the drainage system of the eyeball:
- Scleral venous sinus.
- Trabecularaperture.
- Collector tubules.
Only the correct interaction of all parts allows you to stably regulate the outflow of eye fluid. Any deviations can lead to an increase in eye pressure, the formation of glaucoma and other pathologies of the eye.
Where is the anterior chamber of the eye located? In the photo given in the article, you can see the structure of this organ.
Role of the front camera
The main function of the eyeball cameras has become clear. This is the regular production and renewal of intraocular fluid. In this process, the role of the front camera is as follows:
- Normal outflow of intraocular fluid from the anterior chamber, which guarantees its stable renewal.
- Light transmission and refraction, which allows light waves to penetrate the eyeball and reach the retina.
The second function in many respects also lies on the back chamber of the eye. Considering that all parts of the body are closely interconnected and provide constant interaction, it is difficult to separate them into specific tasks.
Possible diseases of the eye
The anterior chamber of the eye is close to the surface, which makes it vulnerable not only to internal pathologies, but also to external damage. At the same time, it is customary to divide eye pathologies into congenital and acquired.
Congenital changes in the anterior chamber of the eye:
- Complete lack of front camera angles.
- Incomplete resorption of embryonic tissues.
- Incorrect attachment to the iris.
Acquired pathologies can also become a problem for vision:
- Blocking the angles of the anterior chamber of the eye, preventing aqueous humor from circulating.
- Incorrect anterior chamber dimensions (uneven depth, shallow anterior chamber).
- Accumulation of pus in the anterior chamber.
- Anterior chamber bleeding (often due to external trauma).
The anterior chamber of the eye is located in the organ in such a way that when the eye lens is removed or when the choroid is detached, its depth will change. In some cases, this process is controlled by a doctor in the treatment of concomitant diseases. In other situations, it is necessary to seek help to determine the cause of discomfort and visual impairment.
Diagnosis
Modern medicine does not stand still, constantly improving methods for diagnosing complex and implicit pathologies.
So, to determine the state of the anterior chamber of the eye, the following measures are used:
- Slit lamp examination.
- Ultrasound of the eyeball.
- Microscopy of the anterior chamber of the eye (helps to identify the presence of glaucoma).
- Pachymetry, or determining the depth of the chamber.
- Intraocular pressure measurement.
- Study of the composition of intraocular fluid and the quality of its circulation.
Based on the data obtained, the doctor is able to establish a diagnosis andprescribe treatment. It is important to understand that with pathologies of the anterior or posterior chamber of the eye, the quality of vision suffers, since any pathologies interfere with the formation of a clear picture on the retina.
Treatment methods
The method of therapy that will be chosen for the patient depends on the diagnosis. In most cases, the patient prefers to be treated on an outpatient basis, refusing hospitalization. Modern medicine allows therapy and even surgery in this way.
It is important that the anterior chamber of the eye is close to the surface, exposed to external factors and the ingress of additional dust microparticles. In some cases, it is recommended to wear a special bandage or compress, but this decision must be made by the doctor. Self-medication is dangerous, it can lead to irreversible deterioration and loss of vision.
In medicine, there are several main approaches to treatment:
- Drug therapy.
- Surgery.
Medicines can be prescribed by your doctor. It is important to take into account all the features of the patient's he alth, which will avoid allergic reactions and complications.
Eye microsurgery is a complex operation that requires high professional precision. Surgery is scary for the patient, but considering where the anterior chamber of the eye is located, it is important to remember that the decision to operate is made only in the most advanced cases. More often it is possible to get rid of pathologies by other methods.
Possible Complications
As you can seein the photo above, the anterior chamber of the eye is in direct interaction with the outside world. Takes on the impact of light rays, helping them to refract correctly and reflect on the retina.
If the outer part of the eye is subjected to mechanical damage or internal pathologies, then this will inevitably affect the quality of vision. Often there is a hemorrhage in the anterior chamber under the influence of trauma or with jumps in intraocular pressure. If such things are of a one-time nature, then they pass quickly enough, delivering only temporary discomfort.
If the pathologies are more serious (for example, glaucoma), then this can irreversibly spoil the quality of vision up to its complete loss. Regular examination by an ophthalmologist is important, which will allow timely detection of deviations.
