Both chambers of the anterior cavity are filled with aqueous humor, a watery fluid that nourishes the cornea and lens.

Detailed explanation-2: -The iris divides the space between the lens and the cornea into an anterior and a posterior chamber: The anterior chamber of the eye is bounded in front by the posterior surface of the cornea; behind by the front of the iris and the central part of the lens.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anterior uveitis (iritis) is the inflammation of the anterior chamber and the iris. Uveitis is often idiopathic, but it may be triggered by genetic, immune, traumatic, or infectious mechanisms. The symptoms include redness, sensitivity to light, and pain.
