The main depressor of the eyelid is the orbicularis oculi muscle. This muscle encircles the eye and is responsible for closing the eyelid. Its contraction enables blinking and helps to protect the eye from irritants and excessive light. Additionally, the levator palpebrae superioris muscle works to raise the eyelid, balancing the functions of these muscles.
