Aqueous Humor Production: The Roles of Ultrafiltration, Diffusion, and Secretion

Understand How Aqueous Humor Is Formed, What It Contains & How Drugs Control It
This is Part 1 of our deep-dive into aqueous humor dynamics, where we explore:

🔬 How aqueous humor is produced — via diffusion, ultrafiltration, and active secretion
💧 What it’s made of — detailed breakdown of its composition & function
💊 How medications modulate production — including carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, beta blockers, and alpha agonists used in glaucoma therapy

🌙 We also touch on:
• Circadian variations in flow
• Age-related decline in production
• The surprising independence from IOP regulation

This video is perfect for ophthalmology residents, FRCS/FICO/NEET PG aspirants, and anyone wanting to strengthen their conceptual grasp of aqueous humor physiology.
