The anterior chamber is the area between the cornea (the clear, front surface of the eye) to the lens. It contains the watery aq…ueous humour. The posterior chamber is the area from the back of the lens to the retina. This contains the jelly-like vitreous humour. 8 people found this useful.

The sclera is the white of the eye. The cornea is the clear bulging surface in front of the eye. It is the main refractive surface of the eye. Glaucoma is a result of the increased fluid pressure in the eye due to the reduction or blockage of aqueous from the anterior to posterior chambers.

For other uses, see Cornea (disambiguation). The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres.

The Eye in Cross Section. When we look at a cross section of the eye, we can see the interior structures of the eye. The transparent portion at the very front of the eye is called the cornea. The cornea is a thin layer of cells that allows light to pass through the front of the eye. The lens of the eye sits behind the iris. The lens focuses the light that comes through the cornea onto the back of the eye.

External fibrous tunic. The cornea is the anterior, transparent part of the eye, and it forms about one-sixth of the circumference of the fibrous coat. Most of the refraction by the eye takes place not in the lens but at the surface of the cornea. The cornea is continuous with the conjunctiva and the junctional region is known as the limbus.

angle, anterior chamber angle. Junction of the front surface of the iris and back surface of the cornea, where aqueous fluid filters out of the eye. anterior chamber. Fluid-filled space inside the eye between the iris and the innermost corneal surface (endothelium).

noun, Anatomy. 1. the transparent anterior part of the external coat of the eye covering the iris and the pupil and continuous with the sclera. Unlike the rest of the eye, or most of the body, the cornea is a privileged organ. Here is the proof: even as a whippersnapper, young Rand seemed to love the cornea.
