(1) The eyeball sits in the eye socket (also called the orbit) in a person's skull, where it is surrounded by bone.(2) Four muscles pull each eyeball straight back into the eye socket, shortening the eyeball .(3) Skin is slowly shed or rubbed away and replaced, but the lens is confined within the fixed volume of the eyeball .(4) Glaucoma, which often leads to partial or total blindness, is caused by an increase of fluid pressure within the eyeball .(5) The orbit is a socket for the eyeball , muscles, nerves, and vessels that are necessary for proper functioning of the eye.(6) The retina lines the inner face of the back of the eyeball and contains light-sensitive cells that transmit images to the brain.(7) The surgeon uses a wire speculum to retract the eyelids to expose the eyeball .(8) His face motionless, Altobelli reached up and uncorked his left eyeball from its socket, placing it on the table.(9) The eyeball is moved to the side and the optic nerve sheath is exposed.(10) More anteriorly, the optic nerve is surrounded only by the smooth meningeal or inner layer of the dura, which blends with the sclera of the eyeball .(11) With myopia, the cornea is too curved or the eyeball too long.(12) Exophthalmos is caused by an increase in the bulk of the tissue behind the orbit (eye socket) that forces the eyeball forward.(13) In some reported instances, it forms a muscular funnel around the optic nerve and is inserted onto the back of the eyeball .(14) A small incision is made in the side of your eyeball to allow for removal of your cornea's inner layer without hurting the outer layers.(15) It can be due to either a too flat cornea or the eyeball being too short.(16) Secondly, the lower eyelid has rounded and come away from the eyeball .
