Summary Introduction

Introduction: The extrinsic eye muscle is one of six skeletal muscles that controls the rotating, vertical, and horizontal movements of the eyeball. The extrinsic muscle is also referred as extraocular muscles. The actions of the extrinsic eye muscles are accountable for the movement of the eye based on the eye position. The muscle is present inside the orbit, while outside the eyeball includes inferior, superior, lateral, and medial rectus muscles.
