Table 3. Means of the rate of formation of aqueous humour (Q) and the volume of the anterior chamber (Vac) with respective standard deviations in various vertebrates.
The systematic review yielded measurements of Q and Vac in eight species only, all of them mammals. Only one study per species (apart from human) satisfied the inclusion criteria.
