Which of the following is the most important determinant of intraocular pressure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance to outflow of aqueous humor in the canal of Schlemm is the most important determinant of intraocular pressure. When there is an increase in resistance to outflow, there is a subsequent increase in intraocular pressure. Therefore, the drainage of aqueous humor through the canal of Schlemm plays a critical role in regulating intraocular pressure. The production of aqueous humor (A), vitreous humor (B), and the stiffness of the cornea (C) also play a role but are not as significant as the resistance to outflow.
