In what bone is the infraorbital foramen?
Maxilla
In what direction does the optic canal lie?
Medially
Which walls of the orbit are thin?
Medial wall
Orbital floor - maxilla
What surrounds the globe in the orbit?
Periorbital fat
Name the muscle, and its parts, which makes up the external later of the eye
Orbicularis oculi
Palpebral
Orbital
What does the orbital septum do?
Separates the superficial layer from the deep.
What is the orbital septum made from?
Thickened connective tissue
What does the tarsus do?
Gives shape to eyelid
Contains tarsal glands which produces lipids that stop tears from overflowing
Where is the lacrimal gland?
Superolateral to the globe
What is the hole in the posteromedial eyelid called?
Punctum
What is the conjunctival fornix?
Angle where lower eyelid meets conjunctiva
What is the limbus?
Where sclera meets cornea
Where does the lacrimal sac drain to?
Nasolacrimal duct
Where does nasolacrimal duct empty?
Inferior meatus
What nerve innervates the lacrimal gland?
Parasympathetic of CNVII
What makes up the outer layer of eye?
Sclera
Cornea
What is the middle layer of eye?
Uvea
What is contained in the urea?
Iris
Ciliary body
Choroid
What is within the retina?

Optic disc
What are the segments of the eye?
Anterior
Posterior
Where is the anterior segment?
In front of the lens
The anterior segment is divided into anterior and posterior chamber.
What is in the anterior chamber?
Aqueous humour.
Between cornea and iris
Where is the posterior chamber?
Between iris and suspensory ligaments
What is contained in the posterior segment?
Vitreous humour
What is the iridocorneal angle?
Angle between the iris and the cornea. Different from limbus!
What does the ciliary body do?
Constricts and dilates the pupil
Where is aqueous humour produced?
Ciliary body
What is the pathway for aqueous humour?
Circulates in posterior chamber to nourish lens
Pass through pupil - nourish cornea
Reabsorbed into Canal of Schlemm

Iridocorneal angle
What is canal of Schlemm?
Scleral venous sinus
What nerve supplies the optic disc?
CNII
What is the macula?
