Abstract

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the primary risk factor for blindness in glaucoma. IOP is determined by many factors including aqueous humour production and aqueous humour outflow (AHO), where AHO disturbance represents the primary cause of increased IOP. With the recent development of new IOP lowering drugs and Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries (MIGS), renewed interest has arisen in shedding light on not only how but where AHO is occurring for the trabecular/conventional, uveoscleral/unconventional, and subconjunctival outflow pathways. Historical studies critical to understanding outflow anatomy will be presented, leading to the development of modern imaging methods. New biological behaviours uncovered by modern imaging methods will be discussed with relevance to glaucoma therapies emphasized.
