What prevents spread of infection from periorbital to orbital cellulitis?
Orbital septum
Below eyelids
Tarsal plates (attachment for LPS)
Ligaments medial and lateral to eye
Medial and lateral palpebral ligaments
Limbus
Corneoscleral junction (external)
Conjunctival fornix
Where conjunctiva is reflected off sclera onto internal eyelid

Posterior segment
Vitreous body
What are floaters?
Gel and clumping of collagen
Iridocorneal angle
In anterior chamber
Between cornea and iris (internal)
Angle in glaucoma
Raised IOP can cause:
Ischaemia of retina
Where is aqueous reabsorbed?
Canal of Schlemm at iridocorneal angle and trabecular meshwork
