Schematic of normal aqueous pathway of the iridocorneal angle. (A) Normal aqueous pathway from the ciliary body moving past the lens and through the pupil into the TM. (B) Enlarged cross-sectional schematic of the iridocorneal angle providing more detail of the iridocorneal angle with Schlemn's canal (SC), scleral spur (SS), ciliary body (CB), and Schwalbe's line (SL). The area between the dashed line and the upper white line indicates the anterior portion of the TM. The upper black line indicates the posterior TM (Post. TM) overlying SC. The lower white line indicates the area of the TM above the SS while the lower black line corresponds with TM over CB and represents the CB band (CBB) in clinical imaging. The uveal meshwork (green arrow) is anterior to the corneal scleral meshwork (not shown). Images reprinted with permission from Freddo TF, Chaum, E. Anatomy of the Eye and Orbit. 1st ed.
