ANATOMY OF THE EYE

ANATOMY OF THE EYE

The wall of the eye ball composed of a dense elasic

supporting :
- Anterior part (transparent)  Cornea
- Anterior part covered the sclera  conjunctiva
- Junction between Cornea & conjunctiva  limbus
EYE BALL LAYER’S
TEAR FILM
Lipid : prod. by meiboman gland
F/ tear evaporation,
 tear stability
Aquous: prod. By lacrimal gland
F/ Transport all water
soluble nutriens
Mucin : prod. by conjunctival
goblet cell
F/  ability aquous layer
to spread through
corneal epithel
CORNEAL LAYER
EPITHELIUM:
Continuation of the con-
junctiva over the cornea
Bowman’s Layer

STROMA
Forming 90 % of total
Corneal
Descemet Membrane
Thin elastic membrane
covered on its posterior by
Endothelium
Endothelium
Controling stromal hydration,
become less in number of age
 Anterior Chamber

Ant. Camber : space filled with aquous humor

Border : - anterior : cornea
- posterior : iris

Muscle controlled iris movement

- Sphincter pupillae
circular bundle running round the pupillary margin, supplied
by parasimpatic N. III
- Dilator pupillae
run radially near the root of iris, suplied by motor
nerve fibers derived from cervival sypathetic chain
TRABECULAR MESHWORK &
AQUOUS FLOW
Aquous flow

Aquous formed in ciliarry region

Secreted to the posterior chamber

Through the pupil

Anterior chamber

Escapes trough the drainage channels

Episcleral vein
 THE LENS

Lens : biconves mass surounded by hyaline membrane ( lens capsule,

held by suspensory ligament ( zonules zinii)
 DURING ACCOMODATION

THE CILIARY MUSCLES CONTRACTS

DRAWING TOWARD THE CHOROID

RELAXING THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT

DIMINISHES THE TENSION OF LENS

CAPSULE

INCREASE THE CONVEXITY OF THE LENS

 UVEAL TRACT

CONSIST 3 PARTS :
-THE CHOROID,
- CILIARY BODY,
-THE IRIS
THE RETINA CONSISTS OF 10 LAYERS
FOVEA : THE MOST
SENSITIVE PART OF THE
RETINA, SURROUNDED BY
A SMALL AREAS, THE
MACULA LUTEA OR
YELLOW SPOT.

AT THE OPTIC DISC THE

FIBERS OF THE NERVE-
FIBER LAYER PASS INTO
THE OPTIC NERVE
 VITREOUS

Vitreous
base

vitreous cavity : expanded extracellular space,

normally contains 4.0 ml of clear gelatinous
substance, composed largely of water,
hyaluronic acid, and collagen.

- THE INFERIOR RECTUS
• THE OBLIQUE MUSCLE
- THE SUPERIOR
OBLIQUE
- THE INFERIOR
OBLIQUE
RECTUS MUSCLES
ROTATING THE EYE
IN FOUR CARDINAL
DIRECTIONS : UP,
DOWN, OUT AND IN

THE OBLIQUE
MUSCLES ROTATION
OF THE GLOBE
THE EYE LIDS
THE SKIN OF THE LIDS
IS THE THINNES AND
ITS LOOSE ATTACH-
MENT

THE CILIA OR
EYELASHES ARE
STRONG SHORT
CURVED HAIRS,
ARRANGED IN TWO OR
MORE CLOSELY SET
ROWS

THE SEBACEOUS
GLANDS ARE CALLED
ZEISS’S GLANDS AND
THE SWEAT GLANDS
ARE KNOWN AS MOLL’S
GLANDS
THE TARSUS
CONSISTS OF
DENSE
FIBROUS
TISSUE; IT
CONTAINS NO
CARTILAGE,
EMBEDDED IN
IT ARE SOME
ENORMOUSLY
DEVELOPED
SEBACEOUS
GLAND : THE
MEIBOMIAN
GLANDS
Orbicularis Palpebra :
-Occupies space between
tarsus skin
- Suplied by N. VII
THE LACRIMAL APPARATUS

THE LACRIMAL APPARATUS CONSISTS OF

•THE LACRIMAL GLANDS
•THE LACRIMAL PASSAGES
TEAR FLOWS
