 Orbit
 Lids
 Sclera and cornea
 Lacrimal system and tears
 PROTECT THE EYES WITH
GOGGLES
the orbital bones
muscles of the eyelids
extraocular muscles and nerves

Inferior rectus (third cranial nerve)
Superior rectus (third cranial nerve)
Superior oblique muscle (fourth cranial nerve)
Inferior oblique muscle (third cranial nerve)
RETINA
 Pigment epithelium layer
 Rods and cones
 Nerve fibre layer
 Optic Nerve
 Retinal blood vessels
RETINA
