What Is This Part of the Eye Called?

Question

If you pull your lower eyelid down, and see that red, fleshy area underneath the eye- what is that called? I am looking for the medical terminology for this area.

Answer 1

I believe vizzu is correct.  You should not be able to see your eye muscles just by pulling your eyelid down.  The palpebral conjuctiva is a layer that covers the inside of your lids and connects to the bulbar conjunctiva which covers your eyeball.  This is why things like contacts cannot get behind your eye.

Answer 2

Its helps your eye to rotate.

Answer 3

actually, it's called the inferior palpebral conjunctiva.  this area can get inflammed if you have allergies or conjunctivitis.

Answer 4

INFERIOR OBLIQUE MUSCLE
