A member asked:
What is the fluid that keeps our eyeballs the shape they are? is there an organ that controls this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aqueous humor: The ciliary body of your eye ( the back base of the iris ) is constantly secreting a clear solution called aqueous humor. This controls the pressure of the eye. It leaves the eye thru the trabecular meshwork/ Schlems canal near the base of the front of the iris. The back cavity of the eye is filled with a gel called the vitreous gel...you were born with that gel
