Aqueous humor is the clear fluid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye, providing nutrients and maintaining pressure. If this fluid is not drained properly, it can cause pressure to build up, leading to a condition called glaucoma. Glaucoma can cause damage to the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia are caused by problems with the shape of the eye or the way that the eye focuses light, not by problems with the drainage of aqueous humor.
