OM: Generally the eye is considered synonymous with the eyeball. In clinical practice, eye surgeries include not only procedures on the eyeball alone but also on the extraocular muscles, the eyelids and the other extraocular (both intraorbital and extraorbital) structures. Classification of eye diseases follows the same approach. The decision on classifying the eye as a body part subdivision (part of face) is partly based on this. A consideration would be to name the body part subdivision as the "ocular region" or "ocular part of face" and use "eye" as a synonym of "eyeball". (source: FMA) |
