The Orbital Fascia forms the periosteum of the orbit. It is loosely connected to the bones and can be readily separated from them. Behind it is united with the dura mater by processes which pass through the optic foramen and superior orbital fissure and with the sheath of the optic nerve. In front it is connected with the periosteum at the margin of the orbit and sends off a process which assists in forming the orbital septum.
