Collector Channels
Approximately 25–30 collector channels arise from the Schlemm canal (Fig 2-17) and drain into the deep and midscleral venous plexuses. Up to 8 of these channels drain directly into the episcleral venous plexus as aqueous veins (Fig 2-18), which are visible in the conjunctiva by biomicroscopy.
