Actions of the eyes by the ocular muscles

There are four muscles per eye that move the eyes up and down, and side to side.
Names of three muscles are:

  • Medial rectus.
  • Inferior Oblique
  • Superior Oblique
  • Lateral Rectus
  • Superior Rectus
  • Inferior Rectus.

Ocular muscles do need a special attention to make sure they line up the eyes accurately, if one eye is just slightly out of line the result will be a blurred vision or double vision. The ocular muscles need to line up both eye precisely on the focused object so that the visible object is seen as one singular object.

Ocular muscles contraction and relaxation

Four of the ocular muscles control the movement of the eye in the four cardinal directions: up, down, left and right. Ocular muscles contract and the opposite side muscles relax at the same time, enabling a synchronization of the eye movement. See video for clear presentation of the eye movements.
