Summary

In this procedure, the provider drains fluid from the anterior chamber of the eye and also removes thin, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the iris, known as the aqueous. Providers typically perform this procedure if the central retinal artery is blocked, which can permanently damage vision or cause blindness.
