Where is the eyelid margin?
The edge of the eyelid - the eyelid margin - delimits the interpalpebral fissure between the eyelids through which light enters the eye for vision.
Where is lower eyelid located?
The upper eyelid extends superiorly to the eyebrow, which separates it from the forehead. The lower lid extends below the inferior orbital rim to join the cheek, forming folds where the loose connective tissue of the eyelid is juxtaposed with the denser tissue of the cheek.
How do you check under your eyelid?
To help find an object that is in the eye, grasp the lower eyelid and gently pull down on it to look under the lower eyelid. To look under the upper lid, place a cotton-tipped swab on the outside of the upper lid and gently flip the lid over the cotton swab.
What is your lower eye lid?
Lower Eyelids
The lower eyelid is composed of very thin skin, a small tarsal plate, and muscles that close (protractors) and open (retractors) the lid. The shape of the lower eyelid is determined by the attachment of the medial and lateral canthal tendons as well as the tone and contraction of the OOM.
