The trabecular meshwork is an area of tissue in the eye located around the base of the cornea near the ciliary body and is responsible for draining the aqueous humor from the eye via the anterior chamber (the chamber on the front of the eye covered by the cornea).The tissue is spongy and lined by trabeculocytes; it allows fluid to drain into a set of tubes called Schlemm’s canal flowing into the blood system.
