The eye is controlled in its movements by the 6 extra-ocular muscles. There are 4 rectus muscles and 2 oblique muscles. A summary of their actions are listed below:

  • Superior rectus- helps eye to elevate, adduct and intort
  • Inferior rectus- helps eye to depress, adduct and extort
  • Medial rectus- helps eye to adduct
  • Lateral rectus- helps eye to abduct
  • Superior oblique- helps eye to depress, abduct and intort
  • Inferior oblique- helps eye to elevate, abduct and extort.
