Forms of The Eye Flashcards
In life, these are often described as the key to expression and personality.
The Eyes
Reveal little but the interrelation of parts.
Closed Eyes
These are directly responsible for the psysiognomical form of the closed eye.
Underlying Anatomical Structures
Has a greater anterior projection than the lower and affords protection to the eye.
The Upper Rim of The Eyesocket
Normally, the greatest projection of the upper eyelid does not quite touch an instrument laid across the upper and lover rims.
How The Upper Rim Protects The Eye
Inferior and posterior to the medial end.
The Lateral End of The Eye
In Profile:
- Supraorbital Area
- Superior Palpebra
- Inferior Palpebra
Surfaces Which Recede Convexly From The Eyebrow
In profile, the _____ surface begins to project.
Cheek
Shape of the lower and upper eyelids together ( in profile).
Almond
Located on the lower third of the eyesocket.
Line of Closure of The Eyes
Eyelashes
Cilia
The lengths of hair are irregular.
Eyelash Hair Length
There are thick and thin areas of hair in these.
Spacing of Eyelash Hair
Occurs at the extreme ends of the line of closure.
Absence of Hair on The Eyelashes
- Use adhesive or masking tape
- Trim tape according to:
- Width of the eye
- The curvature of the line of closure
- Hair placed on the tape should extend three quarters of an inch beyond the edge of the tape.
- Allows for trimming and shaping
- Place hair on the tape in groups of 7-8 hairs.
- Remember that irregularity is vital to naturalness.
Making False Eyelashes
This is vital to naturalness.
Irregularity
Eyebrow.
Supercilium
Lies on the forehead and temple.
Location of The Supercilium (eyebrow)
- Laterally upward and outward.
- Lateral end- horizontal
Direction of Hair Growth in The Eyebrow
The lateral end of this is usually inferior to the medial end.
The Eyebrow
In the eyebrow, hair is densest here.
The Medial End
Region between the upper rim of the eye socket (or eyebrow) and the upper eyelid.
- A convex receding surface.
Supraorbital Area
The concave area (depression) above the medial end of the upper eyelid and lying near the root of the nose.
Naso-Orbital Fossa
The upper and lower eyelids.
- Recede convexly downwards
Superior and Inferior Palperbra
Together, the upper and lower eyelid (palpebra) are shaped like this.
Almond
The greatest vertical height (and projection) of the palpebra is:
Medially Off Center
The superior palpebra is wider than the lower eyelid.
Horizontally
The slit resulting where the eyelids meet.
- Located on the inferior third of the eyesocket.
Line of Closure
- Created by the upper eyelid.
- A dipping curve
Form of The Line of Closure
The lateral end is inferior and posterior to the medial end.
Relationship of The Ends of The Line of Closure
The acquired furrow (wrinkle) of the attached margin of the upper or lower eyelid.
Superior and Inferior Palpebral Sulcus
With this, the superior and inferior palpebral sulcus create:
- The outer corner - a sharp angle
- The inner corner- a rounded angle
With the Line of Closure
At the outer corner, with the line of closure, the superior and inferior palpebral sulcus create:
A sharp Angle
At the inner corner, with the line of closure, the superior and inferior palpebral sulcus create:
A Rounded Angle
The tiny eminence at the medial ends of the two eyelids.
Inner Canthus
The inner canthus “seems” to extend from the upper eyelid because it ____________.
Projects More Than The Lower
The narrow curving groove below the inner canthus.
- A natural facial marking- present at birth.
Oblique Palpebral Sulcus
Furrows radiating laterally from the outer corner of the eye to the face.
- Acquired facial marking
Optic Facial Sulci (Crows Feet)
The acquired puffy surface below the lower eyelid.
Orbital Pouch
Between the lower lid and the extended oblique palpebral sulcus.
Location of The Orbital Pouch
The furrows (wrinkles) between the eyebrows.
- Acquired facial markings
Interciliary Sulci
- On the glabella
- Across the root of the nose.
Location of Interciliary Sulci
Horizontal furrows on the eyelids resulting from repeated winking or blinking.
Palpebration Sulci
- Common transverse sulcus
- Linear Sulci
Types of Palpebration Sulci
A furrow slightly above the eyelashes.
Common Transverse Sulcus
Short furrows which fan from opposite corners of the eyelids towards each other.
- Acquired
Linear Sulci
