The drainage angle is the point in the eye where the colored part of
the eye (iris) and the white covering over the eye (sclera) meet. This is where
fluid within the inner eye (which is different from tears that lubricate the
eye's outer surface) drains. Blockage of this angle can lead to increased
pressure in the eye, called glaucoma.
