EYELID MARGINS
about 2 mm in width.
Lid margin divided into two parts
by Lacrimal papillae(small elevation on
the medial side which has punctum in the
centre)
Lacrimal portion
Ciliary portion

EYE LASHES
Arranged
IN 2-3 rows
Those in upper lid(100-150 in
number)directed forward and and
upward.
Those in lower eyelid(50-70)directed
forward and downward.
Each cilium has lifespan of about 34months.

ACTION
Elevation of upper eyelid
damage to the oculomotor nerve leads to
paralysis of this muscle and causes ptosis.
Damage to the sympathetic fibres in horners
syndrome leads to partial ptosis due to paralysis
of mullers muscle.

It also includes the medial and the lateral
palpebral ligaments

Extremities (ends)
Septum orbitale
Attachments
LATERALLY
septum is superficial and is attached to
the orbital margin in front of the lateral
palpebral ligament which goes to the
whitnalls tubercle.
Potential space is formed between the
two

It bridges supra-orbital notch
and converts it into foramina.
It passes in front of pulley of superior oblique
muscle. Comes forward and is attached to
