The eye is the immediate organ of vision. It is seated in the orbit, while its dependencies, called by Haller Tutamina Oculi, occupy the circumference of the cavity, and are composed of the eyebrows, the eyelids, cilia, glands of Meibomius, &c. The Ball, Globe, or Bulb of the Eye, Bulbus Oculi, is covered anteriorly by the tunica conjunctiva; is moved by six muscles, four straight, two oblique, and is constituted of membranes, as the sclerotic, cornea, choroid, tunics Jacobi, retina, iris, hyaloid, and, in the foetus, the membrana pupillaris; and of fluids, called Humours, or Media,-the aqueous, crystalline, and vitreous. The eyeball is invested with a membranous tunic which separates it from the other structures of the orbit, and forms a smooth, hollow surface, by which its motions are facilitated. This investment has been called cellular capsule of the eye, ocular capsule, tunica vaginalis oculi, vaginal coat, and submusicular fascia of the eye. The vessels of the eye proceed from the ophthalmic artery. The nerves, except the optic, are chiefly furnished from the ophthalmic ganglion. The following are the dimensions, &c., of the organ, on the authority of Petit, Young, Gordon.

The organ of vision.

The organ of vision, situated in the orbit. It consists of the eyeball, bulb or globe of the eye, the prolongation of the optic nerves, and the six extrinsic muscles, four straight and two oblique. It is a spherical body, and consists of three tunics; 1st. cornea and sclera; 2d. iris, ciliary processes, and choroid; 3d. retina. Within these tunics are contained three refracting media, the aqueous humor, lens and capsule, and vitreous humor. The cornea and sclera are fibrous in structure and form the outer coat; the middle coat, formed of iris, ciliary processes, and choroid, is mainly a muscular, vascular, and pigmented coat, while the retina is mainly a nervous structure, being an expansion of the optic nerve fibers [B.
