Is eye size related to orbit size in human subjects?

Ophthalmic Physiol Opt. 2004 Jan;24(1):35-40. doi: 10.1046/j.1475-1313.2003.00159.x.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between eye size and the volume of the orbit in adult subjects. Thirty-three subjects with varying degrees of ametropia (+1.00 to -12.75 D) underwent magnetic resonance scan of the orbit. Results show that the larger myopic eye was not associated with a larger orbit.
