Anatomy of the eyeball

Anatomy of the eyeball

The whole anatomy of various part of eye.

THE EYEBALL


The eyeball may be a cystic structure kept distended by the pressure inside it. Although, generally mentioned as a globe, the eyeball isn't a sphere but an ablate spheroid. 

The central point on the maximal convexities of the anterior and posterior curvatures of the eyeball is named the anterior and posterior pole, respectively. The equator of the eyeball lies at the mid plane between the 2 poles.

Dimensions of an adult eyeball


Anteroposterior diameter      24 mm

Horizontal diameter                 23.5 mm

Vertical diameter                       23 mm

Circumference                            75 mm

Volume                                         6.5 ml

Weight                                          7 gm

Coats of the eyeball


The eyeball comprises three coats: outer (fibrous coat), middle (vascular coat) and inner (nervous coat).

1. Fibrous coat. 


it's a dense strong wall which protects the intraocular contents. Anterior 1/6th of this fibrous coat is transparent and is named cornea.

Posterior 5/6th opaque part are called sclera. Cornea is about into sclera sort of a watch glass. Junction of the cornea and sclera is named limbus. Conjunctiva is firmly attached at the limbus.

2. Vascular coat (uveal tissue).


 It supplies nutrition to the varied structures of the eyeball. It consists of three parts which from anterior to posterior are : iris, membrane and choroid.

3. Nervous coat (retina). 


It’s concerned with visual functions.

Segments and chambers of the eyeball

segments: anterior and posterior.


1. Anterior segment.

It includes lens (which is suspended from the membrane by zonules), and structures anterior thereto, viz., iris, cornea and two aqueous humour-filled spaces: anterior and posterior chambers.

Anterior chamber.

It is bounded anteriorly by the rear of cornea, and posteriorly by the iris and a part of membrane . The anterior chamber is about 2.5 mm deep within the centre in normal adults.

It is shallower in hypermetropes and deeper in myopes, but is nearly equal within the two eyes of an equivalent individual. It contains about 0.25 ml of the aqueous humor.

 Posterior chamber.

 It’s a triangular space containing 0.06 ml of aqueous humor. It’s bounded anteriorly by the posterior surface of iris and a part of membrane, posteriorly by the lens and its zonules, and laterally by the membrane.

2. Posterior segment. 

It includes the structures posterior to lens, viz., vitreous humor (a gel like material which fills the space behind the lens), retina, choroid and blind spot

  1. The companies today rely on plotter speed and efficiency. increases machine efficiency and machine uptime; Breeze End Tech assists customers in extending the life of their equipment by performing regular preventive maintenance.
    These Breeze End Tech Printer Maintenance and Repair and Support Packs were developed for customers who want on-site repairs and maintenance. the kit counts how many pages have been printed.

    Preventive maintenance is an important part of ensuring that you have the best potential for your inkjet, dot matrix, thermal or laser printer. Printing is maintained at maximum potential and at optimum quality with preventive maintenance. A maintenance check will extend the printer's life each month and give the user the satisfaction that the printer works upon request.

    As proper print maintenance, most companies choose to use one of our service contracts options. The basics of proper use and maintenance are explained to our service engineers by the end user to perform printer checks if a problem arises. Problems like paper jams, imagery and leak toner that can entirely destroy a machine may occur without appropriate care. The main cause for printer problems is dusty working environments but the printer's lifetime can be extended to exceed expectations with proper care.

    Laser printers need even more preventive maintenance than other types of printers. Usually a laser printer prints more pages a minute and has more moving components. The maintenance process involves far more detailed inspection of ozone filters, static remover teeth and fuser units.
