However, the cells in the cornea and lens (in the anterior segment) are avascular. Which is the best explanation for how these cells are maintained?

The nutrients and waste products of the anterior segment diffuse into and through the vitreous humor of the posterior segment. The aqueous humor is continuously replenished and flows from the ciliary process to drain in the scleral venous sinus.
