Your eyes are not a part of any other major organ systems. The components of your ocular system make up its own unique system to relay sensory information to the brain.
The eyeball or bulb of the eye (bulbus oculi) is the organ responsible for the sense of sight and it's part of the visual system.
It's contained in the cavity of the orbit, where it is protected from injury and moved by the ocular muscles. Associated with it are certain accessory structures, viz., the muscles, fasciæ, eyebrows, eyelids, conjunctiva, and lacrimal apparatus.
The eye ball includes the retina , cornea , iris , pupil, lens (eye) , eyelid , sclera , eyebrow , conjunctival membrane, optic nerve , uvea, macula, choroid, vitreous.
