How to use "Eye socket" in context?
The eye socket or orbit is a bowl-shaped cavity located between the eye and the skull.
The eyeball rests in the center of the socket, while the eye lid (ear- lid) and surrounding structures (such as the conjunctiva, ciliary body, muscle, and skin) are attached to the outside.
The eyeball possesses an optic nerve which takes information from the outside world and sends it to the brain.
When an injury or disease strikes the outer layers of the eye, the eyeball can become displaced and result in an eyeball socket infection or a perforated membrane, respectively.
