Makeup Eyelids: Function Eyelids: Function I. Protection of ocular surface From environmental factors, light, trauma Via lid closure Gentle or forced From dessication and infection Via tear production & distribution Evaluate blinking RIB Eyelashes are first line of defense II. Tear film maintenance Proper balance of components Via evaporation prevention Meibomian glands, Zeiss and Moll III. Tear flow Via proper apposition of lids to ocular surface Into puncta 1

2 Eyelids I. Function II. Anatomy III. Conditions IV. Eyelash conditions V. Infection / Inflammation VI. Makeup Eyelids: Anatomy Tarsal Plate Muscles Orbital Septum Eyelids: Anatomy Tarsal Plate Provides structural support Superior plate ~10 mm Inferior plate ~5 mm Conj on outside, skin inside Meibomian glands, eyelashes Eyelids: Anatomy Muscles I. Orbicularis Oculi II. Levator palpebrae III. Mullers Eyelids: Anatomy Muscles: Upper Lid Raises the lid/opens the eye Levator palpebrae muscle Mullers (superior tarsal) muscle Lowers the lid/closes the eye Obicularis Oculi muscle Eyelids: Anatomy Muscles: Lower Lid Inferior Tarsal Capsulopalpebral fascia (CPF) Incorporates IR & IO muscles 2

3 Eyelids: Anatomy: Orbital Septum Barrier between orbit & lid tissues Fuses with the levator in upper lid & CPF in lower lid Prevents fat protrusion, edema, hemorrhage Orbicularis Oculi Ringlike band of muscle Anatagonist to levator muscle 1. Orbital portion Forced closure (squeezing, winking) 2. Palpebral portion (E) Preseptal section Involuntary, gentle closure blinking, sleeping (F) Pretarsal section Draws eyelids medially (aids in tear drainage ) : CN VII (facial) innervation Eyelids: Innervation Eyelid Margin Innervated by 3 Cranial Nerves: III: Motor innervation to Levator V: Sensory innervation to upper & lower lids VII: Motor innervation to Obicularis Oculi Cilia arise from hair follicles Upper lid: Lower lid: Each follicle contain (sebaceous) glands of Zeiss (Sweat) glands of Moll close by Levator Palpebrae Skeletal muscle Elevates & retracts upper eyelid Levator aponeurosis is a tendon that attaches the muscle to the tarsal plate Antagonist to palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi CN III (oculomotor) innervation Mullers Muscle Smooth muscle Elevates & retracts upper eyelid Sympathetic nerve innervation Phenylephrine test Increased tone => Graves Diminished tone => Horners miosis, anhidrosis, heterochromia 3
