Besides the eye itself, there are the four muscles that move the eye and the accessory structures of the eye which include the eyelids and superficial epithelium of the eye, and the structures associated with the production, secretion, and removal of tears.

The ophthalmic artery and veins and cranial nerves III, IV and V which move the muscles of the eye. The optic nerve (for sight) that leaves the back of the eye.
