  12. Hi!

    The American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus would like to use your orbital bone anatomy diagram in its discussion about orbital fractures. May we have your permission to do so (we will give you full credit on the page and use the image as is)?

    Thank you!

  45. Wow!!! I love that,concised and detailed.Highly recommended for optometrists like myself….keep it up

  46. Andrew Parkin says:

    I am an emergency physician and arrived at your page whilst working on a lecture. Can you tell me why some parts of the eye are insensate? I imagine feeling arterial pulsation in the eye may be an elovutionary reason and obviously the external eye needs to be sensate. But why would the pupillary apparatus be sensate whilst the sclera not?

    I agree with other readers – a nice site, thank you.

  47. Wow! This is indeed a valuable basic eye anatomy note. It is user friendly and easy to understand. Thanks to the authors.

  51. mehmet karatas says:

    I have noticed small white lines on just the upper perifery of my both eyes’ irises for a month.Are those a symptom of a desease ?
    I would be grateful if responded.
    Mehmet

  52. Mehmet, you may be seeing some lines of “arcus senilis.” If it is changing, however, or having vision decrease/pain … see an eye doctor to confirm.

  53. mehmet karatas says:

    Thank you Mr.Root;I’ll keep watching “arcus senilis “

  54. Martin Cooper says:

    I am interested in why the lens becomes stiffer as we age. Cross-linking polymers perhaps?

  55. Informative and easy to read!Thank you!

  56. caroline belli says:

    really just super explanations! Thanks so much for providing this! Your explanations took all the stress out of understanding the eye. They were wonderful and seemed to include EVERYTHING but your manner of explaining and organizing the material was so clear, it really made things easy to understand. Thanks so much!!

  73. I am going to school to become a surgical tech. I came here for a little bit of info about anatomy and ended up reading the whole thing. It is so interesting, thanks!!

  74. Manali More says:

    i have a doubt that why does the extraocular muscles insertion into the sclera is not visible to the naked eye??

  75. Is cornea behind conjunctiva? I am a bit confused.

    1. the conjunctiva is the “clear skin over the eye” and it covers the anterior surface, excluding the clear cornea

  76. what does the fat behind the eye do

  77. Great site, I am an computer animation artist studying gaze motion of the eye. Just learned about Listing’s and Donder’s laws. Do you know if a healthy eyeball (sclera) deforms (squishes) due to the forces of the rectus muscles? My hunch is yes (that the sclera changes shape as the eye abducts/adducts).

    Also do the eyes remain perfectly yoked during extreme dextroversion or levoversion, or does can one eye get more fatigued than the other and not keep up?

  78. Thanks for providing a free resource for students. I will be encouraging my medical students to review your book as they rotate through our ophthalmology clinic. David George, MD

  79. I really would like to thank you.

    From a ophthalmology resident.

  80. Alistair Robertson says:

    Well done on the presentation. Appropriate use of humour. (I suspect you have a wicked Sense of Humour when unleashed!! LOL! )
    Great general revision for an old hat like myself.
    Looking forward to further reading..

  81. niharika anantoji says:

    could you explain the iris shadow? why do we see it in immature cataract but not in mature cataract?

  82. RAYCHELLE says:

  83. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell; Tim Root is the powerhouse of medical students learning ophthalmology.
