I. THE EYEBALL reflects onto the sclera, ending at the scleral-corneal
Measures about 25mm in diameter junction
Tethered in the bony orbit by six (6) extraocular muscles Important: mucus membrane which covers the sclera
that moves the globe
Cushioned by fat that surrounds the posterior two-thirds of Parts:
the globe o Anterior surface of sclera( Bulbar)
Contains three (3) chambers: Vitreous chamber, Anteror - loosely attaches to the globe
Chamber, Posterior Chamber. - Extends to form a fold called the
fornix
o Posterior surface of the lids (Palpebral)
- adheres tightly to the eyelids
o Forniceal conjunctiva
o Semilunar fold or Plica Semilunaris
o Thickened fold of bulbar conjunctiva
located in the medial frontal area
o Corresponds to nictitating membrane of
some lower animals
o Caruncle – Small fleshy epidermoid structure
attached superficially at the most medial portion of
the semilunar fold
o Transition zone which contains both
cutaneous and mucous membrane
elements (transition zone)
I. VITREOUS
clear visco-elastic gel avascular gelatinous body behind the
lens
comprises ⅔(75%) of the total eye volume
Figure 3. Anterior and Posterior Chambers of the Eyeball maintains the shape of the eye as well as its structural
stability
Within the stroma of the iris are the Sphincter pupillae Vitreous chamber – large chamber behind the lens; filled
muscles along the pupillary border and are innervated by with gel-like substance called vitreous humor (helps cushion
the 3rd Cranial Nerve and protect the fragile retina during rapid eye movements)
short ciliary nerves
Dilator pupillae muscles (Sympathetic) – Innerveted by J. RETINA
the sympathetic arising from the superior cervical ganglion
thin, semi-transparent layer of nerve tissue
long ciliary nerves
Innermost coat of the eye
F. CILIARY BODY Optically receptive part of the optic nerve (optic retina);
Contains ciliary muscles for accommodation contains Rods (dim light vision) and Cones (color vision)
The muscles allow one to focus in real time, distant objects “window” into the brain
and near objects contains photoreceptors that convert light to electrical
Contains layer of non-pigmented cells that produces impulses
Aqueous humor covers the ciliary processes and the back of the iris
vascular and muscular extension of choroid anteriorly Its anterior edge forms a wavy ring, the ora serrata,
“dangerous area” of the eye Where nervous tissues end
continuous posteriorly with the choroid and anteriorly, it lies
behind the peripheral margin of the iris MECULA LUTAE
Functions: - oval, yellowish area at the center of the posterior part of
o Produces aqueous humor the retina
o maintains intraocular pressure FOVEA CENTRALIS
o contains ciliary muscle for accommodation: focus lens -central depression, the inner nuclear layer and ganglion cell
when you are looking at a near object layer are displaced
Composition: - Area of macula with the most acute vision; contains only
o Ciliary Ring - is the posterior part of the body, and its cones and is the center of the visual axis (ideal focus point)
surface has shallow grooves, the ciliary striae
A. RECTI MUSCLES
originate from Annulus of Zinn
named after the sites of insertion e.g. Medial Rectus inserts INTRINSIC MUSCLES
medial to the Cornea; Lateral Rectus inserts temporal/lateral Sphincter pupillae-around the pupil margin
to the cornea - circular rotation
Medial and Lateral rectus only have a single action - constricts the pupil
o Adduction - moving the eye medially (MR) - nasal Dilator Pupillae
o Abduction - moving the eye laterally (LR) - temporal - Radial Rotation
Inferior and Superior rectus have : - Dilates Pupil
o Primary Action Ciliary muscle-deeper
o Secondary Action - longitudinal fibers
Superior Rectus - circular fibers
o Elevates and ADducts - radial fibers
o concerned with INTORSION - for accommodation (pupil dilates, lens thickens, then
convergence)
-Control how the lens adapts to focusing

F. EYELID RETRACTORS
a. Capsulopalpebral Fascia
Responsible for opening the eyelids and formed by a musculofascial
complex with both striated and smooth muscle components known as - Analogous to the levator aponeurosis
the Levator Complex and the Capsulopalpebral fascia in the lower lid. - Fuses to the sheath of the inferior oblique
Upper Eyelid muscle
a. Levator Palpebrae Superioris - 2 heads then fuse anterior to the inferior oblique
- Origin: Apex of the orbit and extends inferiorly to form to form the Lockwood suspensory ligament
the lateral and medial horns - Origin: terminal fibers of the inferior rectus
- Periobital of the lesser wing of the sphenoid, above - Insertion: inferior tarsal border after it fuses with the
the Annulus of Zinn orbital septum
- Muscular portion: 40mm b. Inferior Tarsal Muscle
- Levator Aponeurosis: 14-20mm; passes through - Analogous to the Muller’s muscle
orbital septum forward then downward to the tarsal - Poorly developed; inferior tarsal muscle runs
plates and widens to two major attachments. posterior to the capsulopalpebral fascia
o Lateral Horn
Divides the lacrimal gland to G. TARSUS
orbital and palpebral lobes
o Medial Horn Gives the structural framework of the eyelid
Disinsertion results in loss of Made of fibrous and elastic tissue (NOT cartilage)
eyelid crease Contains meibomian glands
- Insertion: Measurement
o Anterior fibers - 3mm above the lid margin o Length: 20-30 mm long
(pretarsal skin, orbicularis muscles and o Thickness: 1 mm thick
septa) o Height: 9-10 mm (superior tarsus) and 4-5 mm
o Posterior fibers - 2-3mm superior the tarsus (inferior tarsus)
o Lateral Horn – Inserts to the lateral orbital Both anchored to the bone by the MCT and LCT
tubercle
o Medial Horn - Inserts to posterior lacrimal Tarsal Surfaces
crest o Anterior: attachment of the Orbital Septum
- Disinsertion, dehiscence or rarefaction after and Retractors
trauma/surgery may give rise to ptosis o Posterior: Conjunctiva

Efferent (Parasympathetic or Glands of Wolfring
Secretomotor) - AKA Glands of Claccio
o Facial Nerve (CN VII): originate in the superior Both glands are histologically identical to the lacrimal gland
salivatory nucleus
o The efferent post ganglionic parasympathetic impulses
are transmitted via the spheno-palatine nerve to the
zygomatic nerve, which is a branch of the maxillary
division of the trigeminal nerve then passes into the
zygomatic temporal nerve which reaches the lacrimal
gland
o The zygomatic temporal nerve also gives off recurrent
branch to the lacrimal nerve from which the efferent
fibers terminate in the lacrimal gland
