OCULAR MOTILITY AND EXTRA-
OCULAR MUSCLES
By Lambert MURWANASHYAKA
Doc I,MS,UR-GAKO
Extra-ocular muscles
 7 muscles
 Divided into 2 groups according to
their functions
 The one move the eyelid
 The one which move the eyeball
7 muscles
 Levator palpeblae superioris
 4 recti muscles( straight muscles)
 2 oblique muscles
 All these muscles work together to move
superior eyelid and eyeball
Extra-ocular muscles
Levator palpebrae superioris
 Origin: lesser wing of sphenoid bone
 Insertion: broadens into 2 wide aponeurosis.
 Superficial: to the skin of the superior
eyelid
 Deeper: superior tarsus
 Innervation: CNIII and sympathetic
 Action: elevate the superior eyelid.
Axes of the eyeball
 Tridimensional movement
 Vertical axis
 Transverse axis
 Anteroposterial axis
Axes of the eyeball
 Transverse axis
 Elevation and depression
Axes of the eyeball
 Transverse axis
 Elevation and depression
Axes of the eyeball
 Transverse axis
 Elevation and depression
Axes of the eyeball
 Vertical axis
 Adduction and abduction
Axes of the eyeball
 Vertical axis
 Adduction and abduction
Axes of the eyeball
 Vertical axis
 Adduction and abduction
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Axes of the eyeball
 Anteroposterial axis
 Intorsion and extorsion
Extra-ocular muscles
Recti muscles
 4 muscles
 Origin: common tendinous ring
 Insertion: sclera just posterior to the limbus
 Innervation: CNIII and IV
 Actions: primary actions are elevation depression
adduction and abduction.
secondary actions are adduction, medial and lateral
rotations.
Extra-ocular muscles
Oblique muscles
 2 muscles
 Origin: SO: body of sphenoid bone
IO: anterior part of the floor of orbit
 Insertion: sclera just deeper to superior and inferior
recti.
 Innervation: SO: CN IV
IO: CN III
 Actions: primary actions are medial and lateral rotation
Secondary actions are depression and elevation
Extra-ocular muscles origin
Ocular movement
Superior and inferior recti muscles
 Primary actions : SR elevate the pupil
IR depress the pupil
 Secondary actions depends on attachment of the muscles and orbital and
optical axes alignment
Optical axis vs orbital axis
Ocular movements
 SR and IR approach the eye from posterior
medial side of the eye ball and attach on
sclera medially to vertical axis
 This result in adduction when they contact
Ocular movements
 Again the superior and inferior rectus attaches on
the sclera lateral to the AP axis.
 This result in SR : medial rotation
IR: lateral rotation
Ocular movements
Superior and inferior oblique muscles
 SO and IO approach the eye from anterior
medial side of the eyeball and attaches on
sclera lateral to the AP axis.
 This result in SO: medial rotation
IO: lateral rotation
Ocular movements
 Again SO and IO attaches on the
sclera posterior to the transverse axis.
 This leads to SO: depression
IO: elevation
Yoke muscles
 To direct the gaze, the coordination of both eyes must be accomplished
by paired action of the contralateral yoke muscles.
 Example: to direct gaze to the right: the right LR and left MR act as yoke
muscles.
Synergism and antagonism of EOM
 Only Medial and lateral recti which are able to move eye as single muscle
in primary position.
 No single muscle can elevate the eye in primary position.
 2 elevators : SR and IO act together to elevate eye: synergism
 But also the antagonize as rotators: antagonism, and this prevent rotation
during elevation of the eye.
