    Study Notes

    Anatomy of the Eyelids: Key Facts

    • The palpebral portion of the eyelids is used for spontaneous and reflex blinking
    • The orbital septum is a dense irregular connective tissue that serves as a barrier and restricts fat from falling onto the lids margins
    • The posterior muscular system includes the superior levator palpebrae muscle and the superior and inferior tarsal muscle of Muller
    • The tarsal plate is composed of dense irregular connective tissue and palpebral ligaments that hold it in position
    • The palpebral conjunctiva consists of stratified squamous epithelial layer and a submucosa layer
    • The meibomian glands are large sebaceous glands located posterior to the eyelashes and occupy the length of the tarsal plate
    • The glands of Zeis are modified sebaceous glands associated with eyelash follicles
    • The trigeminal nerve provides sensory innervation to the eyelids, while the facial nerve supplies the orbicularis muscle
    • The blood supply to the eyelids includes the medial palpebral artery, lacrimal artery, and peripheral arcades
    • The eyelids have two types of blinking: spontaneous blinking and reflex blinking
    • The palpebral portion of the eyelids includes two specialized areas: the muscle of Riolan and the muscle of Horner
    • The tarsal plate is composed of dense irregular connective tissue and palpebral ligaments that hold it in position

    Tear Film and Lacrimal Gland Overview

    • Mucous layer, produced by conjunctival goblet cells, constitutes 30-40% of the total tear film and helps in adhesion and trapping of bacteria and viruses.
    • The total volume of tears on the ocular surface is 7 to 10 μl, with normal tear production at about 1 μl/min, and the eye's capacity to hold 20-30 μl at once.
    • Normally, the tear film is isotonic and has an average pH of 7.45, with electrolytes contributing to its osmolarity.
    • Tear film properties, including salt content and osmolarity, vary based on factors such as blink rate, humidity, ocular pathology, and contact lens use.
    • The lacrimal secretory system consists of the main and accessory lacrimal glands, meibomian glands, and conjunctival goblet cells, serving a dual function of tear formation and drainage.
    • The lacrimal gland, located in the temporal fossa of the orbital plate, has orbital and palpebral portions, each with distinct characteristics and locations.
    • The secretion of the lacrimal gland consists of water, electrolytes, and antibacterial agents, and reflex secretion increases in response to stimuli.
    • The lacrimal gland is supplied by the lacrimal artery and innervated by sensory, vasomotor sympathetic, and secretomotor parasympathetic nerves.
    • Reflex tearing occurs in response to external stimuli, with the afferent pathway through the trigeminal nerve and the parasympathetic pathway through the facial nerve.
    • Tear film distribution involves the secretion of fluid into the upper fornix, spreading across the globe's anterior surface, and being forced out of pores by orbicularis contraction.
    • Both upper and lower eyelid margins have a tear meniscus, with the upper tear meniscus continuous with the lower meniscus and leading to punctum in the medial canthus for drainage.
