Uveoscleral outflow–a review
A Alm, SFE Nilsson - Experimental eye research, 2009 - Elsevier
The uveoscleral outflow route was described more than 40years ago. Part of aqueous
leaves the eye through the iris root. The ciliary muscle, and there are large species
differences in the fraction of aqueous outflow that leaves the eye through this route. In non-
human primates 40–50% of aqueous leaves the eye by the uveoscleral route. In human
eyes most data has been collected by indirect calculations, with results suggesting a similar
fraction, at least in eyes from younger individuals. An age-dependent reduction in …
