Eye and Orbit: The Eye Sees What You Do not Spot

Abstract

Since the eyes are placed on the surface of the face, infections, poisoning vapours and etching substances from outside can easily reach the eyes. Especially punches, blows and stabs are producing sever eye injuries, because the orbit and eye are in relation with the weak midface structures. Eye and orbit contain their own vessels and muscles, constructed by a peculiar embryology. Innervation of orbital structures, function and morphology of the optic motor systems is special. Perception and oculomotor steering are greatly interwoven. Diseases or genetic deviations, intrinsically or extrinsically related to the eyes, are greatly different in their phenotype. The cellular photo-transduction, on–off processing and receptive field studies are not treated.

“More is seen than can be remembered” implies two things: a memory limit that is a limit on the (memory) report and it infers that more information is available. (G. Spencer [1921–2014], 1960)
