Eye has a watery fluid known as aqueous humor. It covers the spaces in the front side eye almost 30%. The watery(aqueous humor) is produced by the ciliary body and drains through the channels located in the trabecular spaces of the angle of the eye.The drainage should be balanced.

As the age advances,these channels get blocked,resulting in overflow of the liquid.This results in the raised pressure within the eye.This pressure starts damaging the optic nerve.The optic nerve carries the signal of the sight from eye to brain.If the vision damages,then the condition is known as Kala Motia or Glaucoma
