Ultrasound imaging equipment allows eye specialists (ophthalmologists) to "see" the eye in great detail without the pain and risk of exploratory surgery, or the limitations and uncertainty inherent to traditional visual examination.
The anatomical name for the eye socket is the orbit. It is a bony cavity in the skull that houses and protects the eye, along with its associated structures such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
The common name of the orbit bone is the eye socket. It is a bony cavity in the skull that contains the eye and its associated muscles and nerves.
The skull contains what we call the eye socket or orbit. There are seven bones that articulate to form the orbit: frontal bone, lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, zygomatic bone, maxillary bone, palatine bone and the sphenoid bone.
lacrimal bones are on the lateral margin of the orbit.
the eye lies in the orbital cavity, a fossa made up of many bones of the skull! there is no orbital bone in the eye.
Ultrasound of the eye, properly performed by qualified personnel using appropriate equipment, has no risks. There is no evidence to suggest that the procedure itself poses any threat to a healthy eye, or worsens the condition.
The patient relaxes in a comfortable chair in a darkened room. Mild anesthetic eye drops are administered and the head is held secure. The ultrasonic probe, coated with a sterile gel to ensure good contact, is lightly pressed against the eye.
Preparation by the patient is generally unnecessary, although under special circumstances an ophthalmologist may perform pretest procedures. The ophthalmologist and/or ultrasound technician will conduct all preparations.
Anatomically, the word 'orbit' means the space within the skull within which the eye sits and moves about.
It is the very thin medial wall of the orbit
The two main functions of the orbit are to protect and support the eye, as well as to provide a bony socket for the eye to sit in and allow for movement of the eye.
The anatomical name for the eye socket is the orbit. It is a bony cavity in the skull that houses and protects the eye, along with its associated structures such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
The common name of the orbit bone is the eye socket. It is a bony cavity in the skull that contains the eye and its associated muscles and nerves.
The orbit
The orbital is in the eye socket.
The eye socket is called the orbit, The orbital bone is the cavity or socket of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated
The combining form orbit-o refers to structures related to the eye socket or orbital cavity, such as the bones, nerves, or blood vessels surrounding the eye.
