Overview
• • Arterial supply to the eyeball
• • Venous drainage
• • Functional significance
• • Clinical relevance
Ophthalmic Artery
• • Main arterial source to the eyeball
• • Branch of the internal carotid artery
• • Enters orbit through optic canal
• • Gives several branches supplying ocular
structures
Central Retinal Artery
• • Branch of ophthalmic artery
• • Pierces optic nerve ~1 cm behind globe
• • Supplies inner retinal layers
• • End artery—occlusion leads to sudden,
painless vision loss
Ciliary Arteries
• • Short posterior ciliary arteries: supply
choroid & outer retina
• • Long posterior ciliary arteries: supply ciliary
body & iris
• • Anterior ciliary arteries: supply conjunctiva
& sclera
Choroidal Circulation
• • Rich vascular network beneath retina
• • Supplies photoreceptor layer
• • High blood flow maintains metabolic
demands
Venous Drainage
• • Central retinal vein drains retina
• • Vortex veins drain choroid
• • Drainage ultimately reaches cavernous sinus
Clinical Importance
• • CRA occlusion → sudden blindness
• • Ischemia of ciliary arteries → uveitis, scleritis
• • Raised venous pressure → papilledema
