Hyaloid canal is a small transparent canal running through the vitreous body from the optical nerve disc to the lens; it contains a prolongation of the central artery of the retina, the hyaloid artery.
The function of the canal is to provide an adjustable reservoir of mobile liquid which may be easily and rapidly displaced backwards in positive accommodation, forwards in negative accommodation. By- Yoti ranjan [ Bausch and lomb school of ptometry] 2012 batch VT Student

What is the function of the hyaloid canal in the human eye?
The hyaloid canal in the human eye serves to provide a pathway for nourishment to the developing lens during fetal development.
What is the name of the eye canal in the eye?
Good answer, but this is somewhat incorrect. The optic nerve is the continuation of the retina exiting out of the posterior part of the eye. The retina is the inner most layer of the eye covering the interior surface. The Canal inside of the eye is called the Hyaloid Canal, which contained the Hyaloid Artery during fetal development. In the later stages of fetal development, the Hyaloid Artery, which exists to provide nutrients to the lens during development, regresses and therefore leaves behind the Hyaloid Canal. Its main purpose is serving as a fluid passageway. Hope that wasn't too much detail. Good original answer though. You were close. The Hyaloid Canal extends from the lens to the optic disc (head of the optic nerve).
What is the function of the hyaloid canal?
The hyaloid canal is a small, fluid-filled channel located in the vitreous body of the eye, extending from the optic disc to the lens. Its primary function is to house the hyaloid artery during fetal development, which supplies nutrients to the developing lens and retina. After birth, the artery usually regresses, leaving the canal as a remnant, but it may play a role in the maintenance of vitreous structure. Its presence is more of an anatomical feature rather than a functional necessity in adults.
