👉 The sitting fluid refers to the fluid that coats the surface of the eye's cornea and sclera, playing a crucial role in maintaining the eye's optical clarity and refractive properties. This clear, aqueous fluid is essential for proper tear film balance, ensuring that light passes through the eye unobstructed and that the cornea remains hydrated and smooth. It also helps in distributing nutrients to the corneal cells and flushes out metabolic waste products, contributing to overall eye health. Any disruption in the composition or flow of sitting fluid can lead to various ocular conditions, such as dry eye syndrome or corneal abrasions.
