Where is my left eye 'socket bone'?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See eye doctor: The eyeball sits in a boney cave which one may call the socket. The eyeball is surrounded by bones on all sides and the back like a scoop of ice cream sitting in a sugar cone.

Socket bone: There is no such thing as a "socket bone." there are a number of orbital bones which form the protection around the eye.
