What keeps the eye in place?

You have sockets in your skull that they fit into, in addition to the muscles surrounding that enable your eyes to move (contracting the top muscle, for instance, would cause you to look up) and your optic nerve - a tube, we'll call it, that transmits the data received by your eyes - acts as another support.

add. If you look up a drawing of an eye in an encyclopedia, you'll see that the visible part of the eye is only about 1/2 of the diameter of the whole eye. The visible part is a protuberance on the whole eye.
