[edit] Merge header
Per the above, Extraocular muscles should not merge into Muscles of the orbit. "Extraocular muscles" is typically used to describe the six muscles that control the eye movements; however, the levator palpebrae superioris and superior tarsal muscle are literally "extraocular". I'll bring this up in Wikipedia:WikiProject Ophthalmology. -AED 00:45, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradictions?
Under the heading "Actions", it is said that superior oblique and inferior oblique ABDUCT the eye (move the eye laterally). But under the heading "Paths - Two with more complex paths", superior oblique and inferior oblique is said to move the eye nasally (medially, ADDUCT). Can someone clarify?
