Definition

1. Noun:
   • Aqueous humor: A clear, watery fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the lens in the front part of the eye, helping to maintain intraocular pressure and provide nutrients.

Usage Examples

• Noun:
  • Áp lực mắt được duy trì một phần bởi thủy tinh dịch. (Eye pressure is maintained in part by the aqueous humor.)
  • Bác sĩ nhãn khoa kiểm tra sự lưu thông của thủy tinh dịch. (The ophthalmologist checks the circulation of the aqueous humor.)

Advanced Usage

• This is a specialized medical term. In non-specialist contexts, the simpler term "dịch mắt" (eye fluid) might be used, though it is less precise.

Variants and Related Words

• Thủy dịch (n): A shorter, synonymous form meaning the same as "thủy tinh dịch."
• Dịch kính (n): Vitreous humor; the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the back of the eye.

Synonyms

• Aqueous humor
• Intraocular fluid (in a specific context)

Notes on Different Meanings

• "Thủy tinh dịch" has only one primary meaning in modern Vietnamese: the aqueous humor of the eye. It should not be confused with "thủy tinh" alone, which means "glass" (the material).
