Hello Blueenergy~
What an intersting question! Here's what I discovered:
Cilia: The eyelashes.
Conjenctiva: The mucus membrane that lines the inner eyelid (and the
outer surface of the eyeball).
Epicanthus: A fold of skin covering the inner corner of the eye,
common among Asians.
Lateral Canthus: The tissue just to the ear side of the Lateral
Commissure.
Lateral Commissure: The corner where eyelids join, near the ear.
Lacrimal puncta: The openings that allow tears through, found just to
the inner side of the medial commissure.
Lower Eyelid Margin: The edge of the lower eyelid.
Medial Canthus: The tissue between the medial commissure and the nose.
Medial Commissure: The corner where eyelids join, near the nose.
Nasojugal Fold: The slight indentation that runs from the eyelid,
parallel to the nose.
Orbicularis Muscle (palpebral portion): A muscle that closes the
eyelid.
Orbicularis Muscle (orbital portion): A muscle that closes the eyelid.
Orbit: Eye socket.
Palpebral fissure: The opening between the eyelids.
Upper Eyelid Crease: The fold in upper eyelid.
