The medial angle of the eye is the angle formed by the upper and lower eyelids at the medial canthus. It is sometimes used to describe the medial canthus itself. You might think of it as the spot where your eyelids meet closest to your nose.

The bridge of the noise is medial to the left eye?
Medial
What does the medial canthus do for the eye?
The medial canthus contains oil and sweat glands that produce lubrication for the eye. The lacrimal caruncle covers these glands.
What is the red structure in the medial eye?
The Caruncle
Is the nose medial to the cheekbones?
Yes, the nose is medial to the cheekbones. The nose is toward the midline as compared to the cheekbones. Lateral is away from midline (opposite of medial.)
What is the term for the area where the superior and medial borders of the scapula meet?
The superior and medial borders of the scapula meet at the superior angle. This area is covered by the trapezius.
What muscle is inserted on the medial surface of the eye?
The medial rectus inserts on the medial surface of the eye. It is innervated by the oculomotor nerve.
The bridge of the noise is medial to the left eye?
Medial
What do medial glands of the eye produce?
The medial glands of the eye are sebaceous and sweat glands. These glands produce moisture to lubricate the eye.
What is the conical body in medial corner of the eye?
The lacrimal caruncle is the conical body in the medial corner of the eye. It contains glands to moisturize the eye.
Where is the eye in relation to the ear lateral or medial?
The shoulders are lateral and inferior to the eyes. The eyes are superior and medial to the shoulders.
What does the medial canthus do for the eye?
The medial canthus contains oil and sweat glands that produce lubrication for the eye. The lacrimal caruncle covers these glands.
What thin bones that make up part of the orbit at the inner angle of the eye?
The thin bones that make up part of the orbit at the inner angle of the eye are called the lacrimal bones. They are small and delicate, and contribute to the formation of the tear ducts and the medial wall of the orbit.
What is the red structure in the medial eye?
The Caruncle
What extrinsic eye muscle turns the eye medially?
The Medial Rectus.
What is the Medial wall?
The middle bone, or wall of the eye's orbit
Turns the eye medially?
Eye movements are accomplished by the Extraocular Muscles. The muscle that moves the eye medially is the Medial Rectus.
Which cranial nerve is damaged due to a medial strabismus injury?
Medial strabismus is caused by cranial nerve damage. There is no such thing as a medial strabismus injury that causes a nerve to be damaged, rather the damaged nerve causes strabismus. A strabismus refers to the misalignment of the eyes or a deviation in gaze. A medial strabismus would be the result of damage to the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). CNVI innervates the lateral rectus muscle of the eye, which pulls the eye laterally. Therefore, if this nerve is damaged, the eye is no longer able to pull laterally, and the tonus of the medial rectus muscle acts unopposed. This pulls the eye medially, causing medial strabismus.
