The pulleys: something new in
orbital anatomy and physiology.
How is Listing’s law accomplished?
Extraocular muscles have two layers
· A global layer that inserts on the sclera
· An orbital layer that inserts on a collagen-elastin
structure between the orbit and globe. This
structure serves as a PULLEY through which the
global layer moves the eye.
Moving the pulleys accomplish listings law.
