Question

What is the major function of aqueous humour?

• A. It filters the light that is going in to form the image.
• B. It prevents dispersion of light.
• C. It is present to maintain the pressure inside.
• D. It reflects light.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

It is present to maintain the pressure inside.

Aqueous humour is a transparent, watery fluid between the cornea and the crystalline lens. It maintains the pressure needed to inflate the eye and provides nutrition for the central cornea and lens as they do not have blood supply.
