Abstract:
This report describes the surgical correction of senile spastic entropion by internally resecting tarsus and orbicularis muscle. A triangle of tarsus is removed with the apex at the margin and the base at the inferior border and a similar amount of orbicularis muscle is resected. Each layer is approximated separately. The shortened tarsus improves the apposition of the lid aagainst the globe and the tightened orbicularis aids in maintaining this stability.

01:20Muscles of the Eye
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and rotating...

01:17Accessory Structures of the Eye
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...
