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 LAYERS

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 conjunctiva over the cornea Bowmans 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 NERVEFIBER 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 EXTRA OCULAR MUSCLES

Extra Ocular Muscle THE RECTUS MUSCLE - THE MEDIAL RECTUS - THE LATERAL RECTUS - THE SUPERIOR RECTUS - 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 ATTACHMENT THE CILIA OR EYELASHES ARE STRONG SHORT CURVED HAIRS, ARRANGED IN TWO OR MORE CLOSELY SET ROWS
THE SEBACEOUS GLANDS ARE CALLED ZEISSS GLANDS AND THE SWEAT GLANDS ARE KNOWN AS MOLLS 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
