Abstract Solution of the equation that describes simulatenous liquid flow and diffusion in a spherical model of the vitreous body of the eye shows that a small dissolved specie can move both anteriorly and posteriorly from a source behind the lens even though there is a slow liquid movement almost entirely in the posterior direction. This results explains why tracer studies using large particles (dyes or colloids) show only a posterior flow, whereas studies using sodium ion show anterior movement as well.
