-Ciliary Muscle - -The muscle inside of the eyeball that alters the shape of the
crystalline lens. It has direct control over the focusing ability of the eye.
, -Medial Rectus - -The most powerful of the extraocular muscles. Turns the eye toward
the nose.
-Inferior Rectus - -Its primary action is to turn the eye downward.
-Lateral Rectus - -Its only action is to move the eyes away from the nose.
-Superior Rectus - -Its primary action is to move the eye upward.
-Superior Oblique - -Rotates eye down and inward
-Inferior Oblique - -Rotates eye up and outward
-Anterior Chamber - -The area inside the eye, behind the cornea, and in front of the
iris.
-Aqueous humor - -a clear, watery fluid produced by the ciliary body. It provides
nutrients for the lens and posterior cornea.
-Choroid - -Sandwiched between the sclera and the retina. This nourishes the retina.
-Conjunctiva - -clear, cellophane-like tissue that covers the sclera and the inside
surface of the eyelids. The *palpebral* _______ lines the lids, while the *bulbar*
_______ covers the sclera.
-Fovea Centralis - -Area in the macula where visual acuity is the sharpest.
-Macula - -The central part of the retina, which is used for seeing detail.
-Posterior Chamber - -The area behind the iris and in front of the lens.
-Rods - -Photoreceptors that provide black/white vision and are the most sensitive.
-Cones - -Photoreceptors responsible for color vision and for clear central vision.
-Sclera - -The white portion of the eye made up of a tough, fibrous tissue that gives
shape and structure to the eyeball.
-Vitreous Humor - -A thick, clear, jelly-like substance that fills the eye between the lens
and the retina. This serves to support the retina and helps keep the eye round.
-Ocular Adnexa - -The adjacent structures of the eye, such as eyelids, lashes, eyebrows,
lacrimal apparatus, tarsal plates, orbit, extraocular muscles and conjunctiva.
-Sinuses - -Air spaces within the bones.
-Lacrimal Gland - -The gland that supplies most of the tears to the eye.
-Lacrimal Duct - -The drainage system for tears.
, -Nasolacrimal Duct - -The drainage system for the tears to leave the eye.
-Amblyopia - -A loss of vision in one or both eyes.
-Aphakia - -When a cataract progress to the degree that it interferes with vision, the
crystalline lens can be surgically removed.
Absence of the lens in the eye.
-Chalazion - -As the inflammation resolves in a hordeolum, it will sometimes leave a
granuloma (small lump).
-Blepharitis - -Inflammation of the lid margin.
-Diabetic Retinopathy - -Due to poor blood circulation that occurs with diabetes
mellitus, new blood vessel growth often develops in the retina.
-Esotropia - -A form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward.
-Flashes or floaters - -Caused by mechanical stimulation of the nerves in the retina.
-Glaucoma - -A condition in which the optic nerve is damaged from increased ocular
pressure.
-Hordeolum - -Commonly known as a stye, occurs when pores in the eyelid become
blocked and inflamed. This essentially is a "pimple" in the eyelid.
-Keratoconus - -The cornea thins and bulges forward.
-Nystagmus - -A vision condition in which the eyes make repetitive, uncontrolled
movements, often resulting in reduced vision.
-Pinguecula - -A thickening of the connective tissue on the sides of the cornea (3 and 9
o'clock).

(other disorder) in its wedge-shape and ability to invade the cornea.
