But my personal opinion is that a sound knowledge of correlative anatomy of an organ can be an asset for a busy clinician who can thus easily anticipate its clinical presentation in disease. This atlas is a humble effort to present such knowledge for the eye. We start with some solid examples. We can easily divide the eye anatomy into some regions, the starting point being the bony socket, the orbits on either sides of the nose, in which the eyes are safely lodged. Pyramidal in shape, the orbits have to have an apex on the back and an open base in the front. They are a bony socket closed by the orbital septum. They have a limited physical space suited for their normal contents—the eyeball along with its nerves and vessels, which come from middle cranial fossa through its ape
