Existence of lymphatic outflow of intraocular fluid is still an open question. Identification of the lymphatic capillaries and vessels in various human organs in normal and pathological conditions became possible with discovery of endotheliocyte markers for lymphatic vessels. However, the available information on the presence of lymphatic structures in the human eye is inconsistent and uncertain. The data on lymphatic drainage of the eye is of interest, particularly because it may help understand glaucoma pathogenesis, mechanisms of development of eye inflammatory diseases, and develop pathogenetic therapies. The article reviews literature and presents the authors' own views on lymphatic drainage of the human eye.
