Gross Anatomy of the Eye • Cornea at anterior • Light passes to lens • Retina at posterior • sensory tissue • sensory cells: rods and cones
Sup. Lat. Med. Inf. 1. Cornea 2. Lens 3. Iris 4. Sclera 5. Macula 6. Optic Nerve Head 7. Retinal vessels 8. Vortex Veins
Looking at the Retina Macula- 3 by 5 mm area at the posterior pole of the eye Fovea- in center of macula, free of blood vessels contains only cone cells
Back of the Eye Front of the Eye
Extrinsic Eye Musculature For moving eye within its socket. 6 muscles per eyeball Innervated by 3 Cranial nerves
YAW Eye Movements Yaw: gaze shifts L/R Pitch: gaze shifts up/down Roll: eye rotates around line of gaze (torsion) • Adduction: shifting gaze toward midline • Abduction: shifting gaze laterally PITCH ROLL

Cranial Nerves III, IV, and VI • III - Oculomotor • IV - Trochlear • VI - Abducens
III (Oculomotor) innervates: 1) Medial rectus 2) Superior rectus 3) Inferior rectus 4) Inferior oblique Levator palpebrae sup Pupillary sphincter Ciliary muscle
IV (Trochlear) innervates: • Superior oblique
VI (Abducens) innervates • Lateral rectus.
Proprioceptive info from eye muscles • comes through Trigeminal nerve.
Eye Movements • Saccades—rapid shift in gaze • Pursuit—stabilize image of moving object • Fixation—stabilize image of still object • VOR—stabilize image during head motion • OKN—backup for when VOR decays to cont’d head rotation • Vergent movements—change depth of focus • Accommodation-- automatic changes to see at different distances which is chiefly brought about by changes in the convexity of the lens. Horizontal vergence and accommodation normally occur together. The two responses are accompanied by an appropriate change in pupil diameter. The three concomitant changes are known as the near-triad response.
Cortical Areas: Oculomotor Control • Occipital Eye Fields (areas 18 and 19) • Frontal Eye Fields (area 8) • Temporal Eye Fields (area 22)
VOR Pathways • Vestibular nuclei • Abducens N. • Median Longitudinal Fasciculus • Trochlear N. • Oculomotor N.
Saccades Pause cells inhibit Burst Neurons which stimulate: III & VI (horizontal) or III & IV (vertical)
