The spaces of the eye are filled with the aqueous humour anteriorly, between the cornea and lens, and the vitreous body, a jelly-like substance, behind the lens, filling the entire posterior cavity.

During a globe rupture, the outer membranes of the eye are completely or partially compromised, and the vitreous and / or aqueous humour drain through the site of the rupture, causing the eye to'deflate '.

MIGS objective, like all glaucoma surgeries, is to achieve lowering of IOP by either increasing aqueous humour outflow, the fluid that is produced by the eye and fills the space between the cornea and the lens, or decreasing the production of aqueous humour.

In addition some uveal regions have special functions of great importance, including secretion of the aqueous humour by the ciliary processes, control of accommodation ( focus ) by the ciliary body, and optimisation of retinal illumination by the iris's control over the pupil.
16.
Just in front of the root of the iris is the region referred to as the trabecular meshwork, through which the aqueous humour constantly drains out of the eye, with the result that diseases of the iris often have important effects on intraocular pressure and indirectly on vision.
17.
Independently, a transparent layer and a nontransparent layer may split forward from the lens : a separate cornea and iris . ( These may happen before or after crystal deposition, or not at all . ) Separation of the forward layer again forms a humour, the aqueous humour.
18.
Over time, these pigment cells can accumulate in the anterior chamber in such a way that it can begin to clog the trabecular meshwork ( the major site of aqueous humour drainage ), which can in turn prevent the aqueous humour from draining and therefore increases the pressure inside the eye.
