Tendon of levator palpebrae superioris

Tendo musculi levatoris palpebrae superioris · Šlacha zdvihače horního víčka

Fascia & connective tissue

Looks like

A broad, thin tendon sheet (aponeurosis) from the eyelid-lifting muscle to the upper eyelid.

What it does

Transmits the muscle's pull to raise the upper eyelid and form its crease.

Keeping it well

Stretches or detaches with age or contact-lens use, causing a drooping lid (ptosis); sudden droop needs urgent review.
