❛ Most external part of the eye we term this as ❜

Ocular adnexa
What comprises the ocular adnexa
❛ Eyebrows
• Eyelids
• Lacrimal Apparatus ❜
— Page 1
❛ ▪ A layer of tissue that sits on top of the eye.
▪ It is clear not white.
▪ Protects the eye and creates a surface underneath. ❜
— Page 1
Conjunctiva
❛ Loops underneath the inside of the eyelid and forms the back of the eyelid. ❜
— Page 1
Conjunctiva
❛ Explains why if you have a contact lens that slips down it does not go behind your eyeball because it gets trapped by the conjunctiva. ❜
— Page 1
Why does your eyes get pink in conjunctivitis
❛ People who get conjunctivitis gets infection on this layer of tissue.
▪ Blood vessels run through the conjunctiva ▪ In conjunctivitis, these BV will get dilated and very red and that’s why your eye’s pink. ❜

❛ Where the conjunctiva inserts ▪ It becomes clear cornea ❜

Limbus
What are the two layers of eyelids?
❛ 2 layers: Anterior lamella and posterior lamella ❜
— Page 1
Which layer of the eyelid has the muscles?
❛ Anterior lamella – has the muscles ❜
— Page 1
❛ layer of tissue that is somewhat tough that gives eyelids its shape. Some of the muscles that open and close the eyes insert here. ❜
— Page 1
Tarsal plate
❛ Squirt oil through little pores at the base of the eyelids into the tear film. Oil important to keep tears from evaporating too quickly. ❜
— Page 1
❛ inside the tarsal plate ❜
— Page 1
Meibomían gland
❛ can occur if one of the pores is clogged up. Backflow of lipid into the gland can get a granulomatous reaction. ❜
— Page 1
Chalazion
❛ Not an infection but can be seen quite commonly in ophthalmology. Hard lump that is not tender or infected but won’t go away on their own. ❜
— Page 1
Chalazion
How to treat chalazion ❛
— Page 1
❛ To treat: flip eyelid, excise, and drain. ❜
— Page 1
❛ more like a pimple. Small localized infection usually self-limited, typically red and very tender ❜

stye
2 eyelid muscles?
❛ Orbicularis oculi ❜
— Page 2
❛ Levator Palpebrae ❜
— Page 2
❛ circular pattern around the eyes.
Close the eye. Controlled by CN VII. ❜
— Page 2
❛ Orbicularis oculi ❜
— Page 2
❛ controlled by CN III. Attaches on
top of the tarsal plate. Pulls the eye open. ❜
— Page 2
❛ Levator Palpebra ❜
— Page 2
What is the function of the lacrimal system
❛ controls tear and tear drainage. ❜
— Page 2
❛ produces majority of tears ❜
— Page 2
Accessory bland
❛ produces reflex tearing in the corner
which squirts tears in the tear film. ❜
— Page 2
❛ Lacrimal gland ❜
— Page 2
❛ drain tears down the canalicular system ❜
— Page 2
O
punctum
What comprises the lacrimal system?
Accessory gland lacrimal gland punctum lacrimal sac inferior turbinate
❛ Tears form the eyes drain down to the nose in the ❜

❛ nasolacrimal duct. ❜
— Page 2
❛ Most worrisome laceration in the lid is ❜
— Page 3
❛ medial laceration ❜
— Page 3
❛ because it can cut right into the canalicular structures and this needs to be repaired surgically. ❜
