The eye lids are two movable folds situated above and below the front of the eye.
Composition (Eyelids):• Skin-The thinnest part of
human body• Muscle-Open & close the
eyelid• Connective tissue-Give
rigidity & support• Conjunctiva-the mucous
membrane acting as a lubricating film between the eyelid & sclera

The Blinking of the eyelids helps to spread the tears evenly over the eye and by renewing the tear film as it evaporates, prevents the eye drying out.
Normal blinking occurs about 12 times per minute.
During each blink, Our eyes are shut for around 0.3 seconds

Cornea – "window of the eye“
(Outer Layer)
Transparent structure forming the front portion of eye. The average adult cornea is 1.0 mm thick and 11.5 mm in diameterThe cornea is avascular (contains no blood vessels). Its nutritional and metabolic needs are met by:
blood vessels supplying the (the junction of the sclera and cornea)fluids that make up the precorneal tear film components of the tear film aqueous oxygen from the external environment
![Page 15: Ocular physiology_2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53fcee8d8d7f7288518b4927/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Layers of cornea
Function: Provide the principal refracting medium for the eye
The cornea has five main layers of cells:1. Epithelium: The outer layer of the cells that acts as a barrier against damage and infection2. Bowman's membrane: A thin, tough membrane3. Stroma: Consist of collagen fibers and account for 90% of the cornea's thickness4. Descemet's membrane: A thin membrane of collagen and elastic fiber5. Endothelium: A layer very delicate cells that cannot regenerate and are Responsible for maintaining partial corneal dehydration and transparency

Sclera:The tough white outer coat of the eyeballwhite outer coat of the eyeball, continuous with cornea. The sclera is completely opaque, preventing light from entering the eye .•Function: Forms the shape & maintain the shape of the eyeball
Sclera – "white of the eye“
(Outer Layer)
![Page 17: Ocular physiology_2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53fcee8d8d7f7288518b4927/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

•The iris, which is the colored part of the eye, contracts and dilates to control how much light enters the eye. •It is made up of smooth muscle fibers that adjust pupil size .•By adjusting, it allows us to see under a variety of lighting conditions.
Iris(Middle Layer)
![Page 19: Ocular physiology_2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53fcee8d8d7f7288518b4927/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

PupilThe pupil is a black hole in the centre of the iris. The size of the pupil determines the amount of light that enters the eye. The pupil size is controlled by the dilator and sphincter muscles of the iris.
•Pupil diameter :In healthy eye, ranges from 2 to 8 millimeters.
If you are in a very bright room, or in bright sunlight, our pupils will be very small. This is because not much light needs to be let in to the eye for it to be able to see well. In a dimly-lit room your pupils will be bigger, to let as much light into the eye as possible.
![Page 20: Ocular physiology_2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53fcee8d8d7f7288518b4927/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

AQUEOUS HUMOR
23
• Aqueous humor is the fluid contained in the eye between the lens and cornea.•This fluid is produced by the ciliary body and drains through the trabecular meshwork. Function: •nourishes & baths cornea, iris and lens and maintain intraocular pressure •It carries the nutritional elements needed for the avascular cornea and lens.
![Page 24: Ocular physiology_2014](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061103/53fcee8d8d7f7288518b4927/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

37
Types of TearSome of the different types of tears the brain tells the eyes to produce are: 1.Basal tears that coat your eyes on a day-to-day basis to keep them moisturized.2.Irritant/reflex tears that form in response to pain or to flush foreign objects out of the eye. Their composition is similar to basal tears, but they contain more healing properties.3.Emotional tears that appear in response to feelings of sadness, stress, joy and extreme emotion.
