The medial palpebral ligament (tendo oculi) about 4 mm. in length and 2 mm. in breadth is attached to the frontal process of the maxilla in front of the lacrimal groove. Crossing the lacrimal sac it divides into two parts upper and lower each attached to the medial end of the corresponding tarsus. As the ligament crosses the lacrimal sac a strong aponeurotic lamina is given off from its posterior surface; this expands over the sac and is attached to the posterior lacrimal crest.
