ANATOMY OF THE EYE

ANATOMY OF THE EYE

THE WALL OF THE EYE BALL IS COMPOSED OF A

DENSE, IMPER-FECTLY ELASTIC SUPPORTING MEMBRANE TRANSPARENT THE CORNEA

THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE MEM-BRANE IS

THE ANTERIOR PART OF THE SCLERA IS COVERED

BY MUCOUS MEMBRANE

THE CONJUNGTIVA

THE CORNEA CONSIST OF FIVE

- EPITHELIUM - BOWMANS MEMBRANE - STROMA OR SUBSTANTIA PROPIA - DESCEMETS MEMBRANE - ENDOTHELIUM

LAYERS :

 THE

EPITHELIUM REGARDED AS THE CONTINUATION OF THE CONJUNGTIVA OVER THE CORNEA THE SUBSTANTIA PROPIA REGARDED AS THE CONTINUATION FORWARD OF THE SCLERA THE STROMA FORMING 90 % OF THE TOTAL CORNEAL THICKNESS

 DESCEMETS MEMBRANE IS A THIN ELASTIC MEMBRANE, COVERED ON ITS POSTERIOR BY ENDOTHELIUM

THE PRIMARY MECHANISME CONTROLLING STROMAL HYDRATION IS A FUNCTION OF THE CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM ENDOTHELIAL CELLS BECOME LESS IN NUMBER WITH AGE AND INDIVIDUAL CELL ENLARGE TO COMPENSATE

 THE CORNEA IS SET INTO THE SCLERA LIKE A

WATCH GLASS SO THAT THE LATTER OVERLAPS THE CORNEA ALL AROUND THE PERIPHERY; THE JUNCTION OF THE TWO TISSUES IS KNOWN AS THE LIMBUS

THE CORNEA IS VERY RICHLY SUPPLIED WITH NERVE FIBERS DERIVED FROM THE TRIGEMINAL AND IT HAD NO BLOOD VESSEL

LINING THE INNER ASPECT OF THE SCLERA ARE TWO STRUCTURES :

THE HIGHLY VASCULAR UVEAL TRACT CONCERNED CHIEFLY IN NUTRITION OF THE EYE A NERVOUS LAYER, THE TRUE VISUAL NERVE ENDING ONCERNED IN THE RECEPTION AND TRANSFORMING OF LIGHT STIMULL CALLED THE RETINA

THE UVEAL TRACT CONSIST OF THREE PARTS, WHICH THE TWO POSTERIOR, THE CHOROID, AND CILIARY BODY, WHILE THE ANTERIOR FORMS A FREE CIRCULAR DIAPHRAGM : THE IRIS THE APERTURE OF THE DIAPHRAGM IS THE PUPIL SITUATED BEHIND THE IRIS AND IN CONTACT WITH THE PUPILLARY MARGIN IS THE CRYSTALLINE LENS

THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER IS A SPACE FILLED WITH FLUID, THE AQUEOUS HUMOR; IT IS BOUNDED IN FRONT BY THE CORNEA, BEHIND BY THE IRIS AND THE PART OF THE ANTERIOR SURFACE OF THE LENS WHICH IS EXPOSED IN THE PUPIL

ITS PERIPHERAL RECESS IS KNOWN AS THE ANGLE OF THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER, BOUNDED POSTERIORLY BY THE ROOT OF THE IRIS AND THE CILIARY BODY AND ANTERIORLY BY THE CORNEOSCLERA

IN THE INNER LAYER OF THE SCLERA AT THIS PART THERE IS A CIRCULAR VENOUS SINUS, CALLED THE CANALIS SCHLEMM - GREAT IMPORTANT - IN THE DRAINAGE OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR

AT THE PERIPHERY OF THE ANGLE BETWEEN THE CANAL SCHLEMM AND THE RECESS OF THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER THERE LIES A LOOSELY CONSTRUCTED MESHWORK OF TISSUES, THE TRABECULAR MESHWORK

THERE ARE TWO UNSTRIPED MUSCLE WHICH CONTROL THE MOVEMENTS OF THE PUPIL
THE SPHINCTER PUPILAE A CIRCULAR BUNDLE RUNNING ROUND THE PUPILLARY MARGIN; IS SUPPLIED BY MOTOR NERVE FIBERS DERIVED FROM THE OCULOMOTOR NERVE THE DILATATOR PUPILLAE ARRANGED RADIALLY NEAR THE ROOT OF THE IRIS. THE MOTOR NERVE FIBRES ARE DERIVED FROM THE CERVICAL SIMPHATHETIC CHAIN

THE INNER SURFACE OF THE CILLIARY BODY IS DIVIDED INTO TWO REGION
THE PARS PLICATA THE ANTERIOR PART WHICH IS CORRUGATED WITH A NUMBER OF FOLDS

THE PARS PLANA

THE POSTERIOR PART WHICH IS SMOOTH

THE CHIEF MASS OF THE CILLIARY BODY IS COMPOSED OF THE UNSTRIPED MUSCLE FIBERS - CALLED - THE CILLIARY MUSCLE THE CILLIARY BODY EXTENDS BACK WARD AS FAR AS THE ORA SERRATA, AT WHICH POINT THE RETINA BEGINS ABRUPTLY

THE CHOROID IS EXTREMELY VASCULAR MEMBRANE IN CONTACT EVERY WHERE WITH THE SCLERA. THERE IS A POTENTIAL SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO STRUCTURE - CALLED - THE EPICHOROIDAL SPACE THE INNER SIDE THE CHOROID IS COVERED BY A THIN ELASTIC MEMBRANE - CALLED- THE LAMINA VITERA OR MEMBRANA OF BRUCH

THE RETINA CONSISTS OF 10 LAYERS

1. PIGMEN EPITHELIUM 2. LAYER OF ROD AND CONES

3. EXTERNAL LIMITING
MEMBRANE 4. OUTER NUCLEAR LAYER 5. OUTER PLEXIFORM LAYER 6. INNER NUCLEAR LAYER 7. INNER PLEXIFORM LAYER 8. GANGLION CELL LAYER

9. OPTIC NERVE FIBER

LAYER 10. INTERNAL LIMITING

MEMBRANE

AT THE POSTERIOR POLE OF THE EYE WHICH IS SITUATED ABOUT 3 MM TO THE TEMPORAL SIDE OF THE OPTIC DISC, A SPECIALLY DIFFERENTIATED SPOT IS FOUND IN THE RETINA, THE FOVEA CENTRALIS, A DEPRESSION OR PIT, AND IN HERE ONLY CONES ARE PRESENT IN THE NEURO EPITHELIAL LAYER

THE FOVEA IS THE MOST SENSITIVE PART OF THE RETINA, AND IT IS SURROUNDED BY A SMALL AREAS, THE MACULA LUTEA OR YELLOW SPOT. WHICH ALTHOUGH NOT SO SENSITIVE, ITS MORE SENSITIVE THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE RETINA AT THE OPTIC DISC THE FIBERS OF THE NERVE-FIBER LAYER PASS INTO THE OPTIC NERVE

THE LENS IS A BICONVEX MASS OF PECULIARLY DIFFERENTIATED EPITHELIUM, IT IS SURROUNDED BY A HYALINE MEMBRANE, THE LENS CAPSULE, IT IS HELD IN PLACE BY THE SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT OR ZONULES OF ZINNI CONSISTS BUNDLE OF STRANDS WHICH PASS FROM THE SURFACE OF THE CILLIARY BODY TO THE CAPSULE

THERE IS A TRIANGULAR SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE IRIS AND THE ANTERIOR SURFACE OF THE LENS AND ITS BOUNDED ON THE OUTER SIDE BY THE CILLIARY BODY - CALLED - THE POSTERIOR CHAMBER AND CONTAINS AQUEOUS HUMOR

BEHIND THE LENS THERE IS LARGE VITREUS CHAMBER CONTAINING THE VITREUS HUMOR, A JELLY LIKE MATERIAL, CHEMICALLY OF THE NATURE OF INNERT GEL CONTAINING A FEW CELLS AND WANDERING LEUCOCYTES

THE EXTRA OCULAR MUSCLES

A TEAM OF SIX MUSCLES CONTROLS THE MOVEMENT OF EACH EYE THE RECTUS MUSCLE - THE MEDIAL RECTUS - THE LATERAL RECTUS - THE SUPERIOR RECTUS - THE INFERIOR RECTUS THE OBLIQUE MUSCLE - THE SUPERIOR OBLIQUE - THE INFERIOR OBLIQUE

THE RECTUS MUSCLES HAVE THE GENERAL ACTION OF ROTATING THE EYE IN FOUR CARDINAL DIRECTIONS : UP, DOWN, OUT AND IN
THE OBLIQUE MUSCLES HAVE THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF ROTATION OF THE GLOBE

THE MEDIAL RECTUS IS INSERTED INTO THE SCLERA, ABOUT 5 MM TO THE NASAL SIDE OF THE CORNEO-SCLERAL MARGIN.
THE INFERIOR RECTUS 6 MM BELOW THE LATERAL RECTUS 7 MM TO THE TEMPORAL SIDE THE SUPERIOR RECTUS 8 MM ABOVE

THE LIDS
THE LIDS ARE COVERED ANTERIORLY BY SKIN AND POSTERIORLY BY MUCOUS MEMBRANE - THE CONJUNGTIVA TARSI. THEY CONTAIN MUSCLES, GLANDS, BLOOD VESSELS, AND NERVES. ALL BOUND TOGETHER BY CONNECTIVE TISSUE WHICH IS PARTICULARY DENSE AT THE POSTERIOR PART WHERE IT FORMS A STIFF PLATE THE TARSUS

THE SKIN OF THE LIDS IS PECULIAR IN ITS 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 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

THE ORBICULARIS PALPEBARUM OCCUPIES THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TARSUS AND THE SKIN
THE MAIN CENTRAL BOND OF THE LEVATOR PALPEBRAE SUPERIORIS IS INSERTED INTO THE UPPER BORDER OF THE TARSUS THE THIRD NERVE SUPPLIES THE LEVATOR PALPEBRAE THE SEVENTH SUPPLIES THE ORBICULARIS

THE LACRIMAL APPARATUS

THE LACRIMAL APPARATUS CONSISTS OF THE LACRIMAL GLANDS THE LACRIMAL PASSAGES

THE LACRIMAL GLAND OF EACH EYE CONSISTS OF :

THE SUPERIOR OR ORBITAL GLAND THE INFERIOR OR PALPEBRAE GLAND THE ACCESSORY LACRIMAL GLANDS OR KRAUSES GLANDS

THE LACRIMAL PASSAGES CONSISTS OF : THE LACRIMAL PUNCTA THE CANALICULI THE LACRIMAL SAC THE NASAL DUCT

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

PHYSIOLOGY OF THE EYE

MECHANISM OF ACCOMODATION.

THE LENS IS AN ELASTIC STRUCTURE WHEN RELASE FROM THE FLATTENING INFLUENCE OF ITS SUSPENSORY LIGAMENT TENDS TO ASSUME A SPHERICAL SHAPE

CIRCULATION OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR

AS THE GREATER PART OF FLUIDS IS FORMED IN THE CILLIARY REGION, IT IS SECRETED INTO POSTERIOR CHAMBER, IT FLOWS FROM THE POSTERIOR CHAMBER THROUGH THE PUPIL INTO THE ANTERIOR CHAMBER AND ESCAPES THROUGH THE DARINAGE CHANNELS AT THE ANGLE, AND THEN INTO THE EPISCLERAL VEIN

THE INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE (IOP)

PROLONGED CHANGES ARE ESSENTIALLY CAUSED BY TWO FACTORS : AN ALTERATION IN THE FORCES DETERMINING THE FORMATION OF THE AQUEOUS ALTERATIONS IN THE RESISTANCE TO ITS OUTFLOW FROM THE CLINICAL POINT OF VIEW, THE LATTER IS THE MORE IMPORTANT

A RISE IN THE IOP MAY BE CAUSED BY AN INCREASE IN THE PRESSURE IN THE EPISCLERAL VEIN OR BY ANY PROCESS WHICH BLOCKS THE SEEPAGE OF AQUEOUS INTO THE CANAL OF SCHLEMM, SUCH AS SCLEROSIS OF THE TRABECULAE OR THEIR OBSTRUCTION BY EXUDATES OR ORGANIZED TISSUE GLAUCOMA

THE IOP PRESSURE

THE IOP NORMALLY VARIES FROM 10 TO 20 MM HG IT IS ACCURATELY MEASURED BY A MANOMETER CLINICALLY BY TONOMETRY
