In addition to the muscles already described, other facial muscles often cooperate in the act of lid closure or opening. Thus, the corrugator supercilii muscles pull the eyebrows toward the bridge of the nose, making a projecting “roof” over the medial angle of the eye and producing characteristic furrows in the forehead; the roof is used primarily to protect the eye from the glare of the sun. The pyramidalis, or procerus, muscles occupy the bridge of the nose; they arise from the lower portion of the nasal bones and are attached to the skin of the lower part of the forehead on either side of the midline; they pull the skin into transverse furrows. In lid opening, the frontalis muscle, arising high on the forehead, midway between the coronal suture, a seam across the top of the skull, and the orbital margin, is attached to the skin of the eyebrows. Contraction therefore causes the eyebrows to rise and opposes the action of the orbital portion of the orbicularis; the muscle is especially used when one gazes upward. It is also brought into action when vision is rendered difficult either by distance or the absence of sufficient light. The skin And how about the last time you felt sad, scared, or upset? Your eyes got a message from your brain to make you cry, and the lacrimal glands made many, many tears. How Can I Protect My Eyes? The size of the eye differs among adults by only one or 2 millimetres. The eyeball is generally less tall than it is wide. The sagittal vertical (height) of a human adult eye is approximately 23.7mm (0.93in), the transverse horizontal diameter (width) is 24.2mm (0.95in) and the axial anteroposterior size (depth) averages 22.0–24.8mm (0.87–0.98in) with no significant difference between sexes and age groups. [2] Strong correlation has been found between the transverse diameter and the width of the orbit (r = 0.88). [2] The typical adult eye has an anterior to posterior diameter of 24mm (0.94in), and a volume of 6 cubic centimetres (0.37cuin). [3] Amblyopia: Often called lazy eye, this condition starts in childhood. One eye sees better than the other, so your brain favors that eye. The weaker eye, which may or may not wander, is called the "lazy eye."

Fovea: forms a small indentation at the centre of the macula and is the area with the greatest concentration of cone cells. When the eye is directed at an object, the part of the image that is focused on the fovea is the image most accurately registered by the brain.Barber, Laurie Gray; Gudgel, Dan T. (March 2, 2018).

The white part of the eyeball is called the sclera (say: SKLAIR-uh). The sclera is made of a tough material and has the important job of covering most of the eyeball. Think of the sclera as your eyeball's outer coat. Look very closely at the white of the eye, and you'll see lines that look like tiny pink threads. These are blood vessels, the tiny tubes that deliver blood, to the sclera. What's the Cornea?

Many tests can detect conditions that affect your eyes directly or that cause eye symptoms. The most important of them is an eye exam. Regular eye exams can detect many eye conditions or concerns before you ever have symptoms. And eye exams can help prevent long-term vision damage or issues when you have other conditions like Type 2 diabetes.Cunningham, Emmett T.; Riordan-Eva, Paul (2011-05-17).

Cones are most helpful in normal or bright light. The retina has three types of cones. Each cone type is sensitive to one of three different colors — red, green, or blue — to help you see different ranges of color. Together, these cones can sense combinations of light waves that let our eyes to see millions of colors. Rossignol, AM; Morse, EP; Summers, VM; Pagnotto, LD (February 1987).
