The Bony Orbit - Borders - Contents - Fractures - TeachMeAnatomy

The bony orbits (eye sockets) are paired, symmetrical cavities in the skull that house the eyeballs and their associated structures.

They protect the eyeball, support ocular movement, and provide passage for neurovascular structures that supply the eye and surrounding tissues.

In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the bony orbit – its borders, contents, and clinical correlations.
