The post-orbital bar is a bony structure found in the skulls of many primates, located behind the eye socket (orbit). It serves to provide structural support and protection for the eyes and associated structures, enhancing the visual capabilities of these animals. This feature is particularly important for primates, as it allows for a wider field of vision and greater depth perception, which are crucial for their arboreal lifestyle. In contrast to some other mammals, primates with a post-orbital bar tend to have more forward-facing eyes, contributing to their stereoscopic vision.
