Muscle of eye

Muscle of eye


 ✅ 1. Based on Location









🔹 Extraocular Muscles (outside the eyeball – control movement)

  • Superior Rectus

  • Inferior Rectus

  • Medial Rectus

  • Lateral Rectus

  • Superior Oblique

  • Inferior Oblique


🔹 Intraocular Muscles (inside the eyeball – control internal eye functions)






  • Ciliary Muscle

  • Sphincter Pupillae

  • Dilator Pupillae


Based on Direction of Action











🔹 Vertical Movers

Superior Rectus – Moves eye up

Inferior Rectus – Moves eye down

Superior Oblique – Moves eye down and out

Inferior Oblique – Moves eye up and out


🔹 Horizontal Movers

Medial Rectus – Moves eye inward (towards nose)

Lateral Rectus – Moves eye outward (away from nose)




🔹 Intraocular Muscles (inside the eyeball – control internal eye functions)


🔸 Controllers of the Pupil and Lens

(Responsible for focusing and light adjustment)

Ciliary muscle – for accommodation

Sphincter pupillae – constricts pupil

Dilator pupillae – dilates pupil



✅ 3. Based on Nerve Supply

Muscle Nerve Supply



Superior oblique - Trochlear nerve (CN IV)
Lateral rectus - Abducent nerve (CN VI)
All others - Oculomotor nerve (CN III)

MYOPIA

What is Myopia? Myopia (commonly called nearsightedness) is a vision condition where a person can see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurry. What Causes Myopia? It usually occurs when: The eyeball is too long from front to back. The cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) is too curved. As a result, light rays focus in front of the retina, instead of directly on it. Symptoms of Myopia: Blurred vision when looking at distant objects. Squinting to see clearly. Eye strain or headaches (especially after focusing on distant objects). Difficulty seeing while driving, especially at night (night myopia). Risk Factors: Genetics : If one or both parents are myopic, the risk increases. Excessive near work : Prolonged reading, computer, or phone use. Lack of outdoor time: Spending less time in natural light, especially in childhood. Treatment and Management Corrective Lenses: Eyeglasses or contact lenses with minus (–) power lenses. Refractive Surgery: LASIK, PRK, SMILE – re...

Important of colour check

  Why is it important to check colour vision? Checking colour vision is important for several reasons: 1. Early Detection of Vision Disorders It helps detect congenital colour blindness, especially in children. Can also reveal acquired conditions due to eye diseases (e.g., glaucoma, optic neuritis). 2. Career Requirement Certain professions require normal colour vision, such as: Pilots Electricians Military personnel Police officers Graphic designers Drivers Railway and maritime workers 3. Safety and Daily Functioning Correct colour recognition is vital for identifying traffic lights, warning signs, and colour-coded materials. Difficulty distinguishing colours can impact school performance, cooking, clothing choices, and reading charts or graphs. 4. Monitoring Disease Progression Colour vision testing helps track changes in patients with: Diabetic retinopathy Multiple sclerosis Macular degeneration Medication side effects (e.g., ethambutol) 5. Educational Guidance In children, dete...
