Levator Aponeurosis

Tendon of the levator palbebrae superioris muscle that inserts broadly on the upper eyelid tarsus and sends fibers into the eyelid platform skin. The highest such attachment forms the upper eyelid crease. It is this tendon that connects the levator muscle to the upper eyelid so that the upper eyelid retracts upward when the levator muscle contracts.
