How to learn the parts of the eye
Found within two cavities in the skull known as the orbits, the eyes are surrounded by several supporting structures including muscles, vessels, and nerves. There are 7 bones of the orbit, two groups of muscles (intrinsic ocular and extraocular), three layers to the eyeball… and that’s just the beginning. There’s a lot to learn, but stay calm!
Want to learn fast, effectively and stress-free? Try our crash course in eye anatomy.
One of our favorite ways to get to grips with all of the parts of the eye is by utilizing labeled diagrams. On a diagram of the eye, we can see all of the relevant structures together on one image. This helps us to understand how each one is situated and related to the other.

So, how can you use them to your benefit? Take a look at the diagram of the eyeball above. Here you can see all of the main structures in this area. Spend some time reviewing the name and location of each one, then try to label the eye yourself - without peeking! - using the eye diagram (blank) below.
