The Human Eye is a sense organ with Photoreceptors that perceive light from objects.

They are contained in cavities /sockets in the skull called Orbits where they are lined with fats that cushion them against mechanical damage due to shock.

They are suspended by rectus muscles i.e 

a] Lateral muscles-                move the eyes side ways

b] Superior and Inferior -       move the eyes up and down

c] Oblique muscles-              steady the eyes as it moves up and down
