 INTRODUCTION
The eyelids are folds of muscular and soft tissue,
lie anterior to the eyeball

The Function of Palpebra:

1. Protection
2. Vital chemical elements to the precorneal tear
film
3. Tear film drainage
Palpebral Fissure Eyelid Margin
 Anatomy of The Eyelid
The eyelids can be divided into the following structural layers:
 Eyelid Skin and Subcutaneous Connective Tissue

The eyelid • Epidermis

skin is the • Dermis
thinnest in • Subcutaneous Tissue
the body

Subcutaneous connective tissue of the

eyelid contains no fat
Muscle of Protraction Orbital Septum

Orbicularis Oculi Muscle

Part Position Function

Pretarsal In front of the tarsal plate • Respond in spontaneous blinking and corneal reflex
•Close lid and support lacrimal pump mechanism
Preseptal In front of the orbital septum •Respond to involuntary blinking

Orbital Surrounds the orbital rim Respond in forceful lid closure

 Tarsus Conjunctiva

Non-keratinizing
squamous epithelium

Consist of three parts:

- Bulbar
- Forniks
- Palpebral

Dense connective tissue Goblet cells 

secreting mucin
serve as the structural support of the eyelids

Upper plate  29 mm (length), 11 mm (wide)

Lower plate  29 mm (length), 4 mm (wide)
Accessory lacrimal
glands
The meibomian glands
(Wolfring and Krause)
 lipid secretion to the tear film
