This fluid is essential to your vision and here are the 5 major things it does:
1. This fluid nourishes your eye and helps maintain its shape – this shape is crucial for seeing clearly
2. It brings nutrients, like food and oxygen, to parts of your eye that don’t have their own blood supply
3. It gently washes away waste products from your eye – taking the trash out to keep things healthy
4. It keeps the pressure inside your eye just right – too much or too little pressure can mess up your vision
And finally…
5. It bends light as it travels through your eye. This helps to focus the light onto your retina, the part that sends pictures to your brain, so you can see clearly
