Eye care is one of the important few healthcare specialties that may frequently engage healthy patients. The eye is the primary organ of vision that is located in the orbit, where it occupy one-fifth of total orbital volume. Fascia, fat, blood vessels, extraocular muscles, nerves and lacrimal gland occupy the remaining space of orbital volume. The eye is embryologically an extension of the central nervous system and shares similar physiological and anatomical features with the brain. Both the organs are covered with protective boy walls, have compact fibrous coverings and blood supply to the nervous layer in the retina. Along with these, the eye is well protected from infection by corneal epithelium and the conjunctiva. In addition, the tear film itself contains antimicrobials and the tear flow has a propensity to wash away the infection causing pathogens. Nonetheless, these eye defenses can be violated by improper tearing, trauma or contact leans wearing and can lead to eye infections.
