Evidence in support of the active ion transport by the ciliary body epithelium as the major mechanism of aqueous humor formation (AHF) has been accumulated. This paper reviews the recent progress in research and discussion of the following topics;<BR>i) the structure of the ciliary body epithelium <BR>ii) the composition of the aqueous humor <BR>iii) the contribution of active ion transport to AHF<BR>iv) the active transport of Na, Cl and HCO<SUB>3</SUB><BR>v) the neural and humoral factors which affect AHF<BR>vi) the possible role of pigmented cells on AHF
