This diagrammatic Atlas is a comprehensive book that aimed at simplifying the anatomy of the orbit and eyeball for postgraduate students of ophthalmology. It provides the necessary details of anatomy highly needed for this surgical specialty. The authors, as professors of anatomy, felt the academic responsibility to present their anatomical knowledge and experience on the orbit and eye in the form of hundreds of diagrams to facilitate understanding this difficult subject, keeping in mind that undergraduate students did not get enough teaching on the details of the subject. It is our hope that this work may be of help to the students and practitioners of ophthalmology and we welcome with pleasure any comments and criticism from the readers on the scientific material in this book.
