It springs from the ophthalmic artery as that vessel is crossing over to the medial side of the optic nerve.

It passes upward on the medial borders of the superior rectus muscle and levator palpebrae superioris, meeting the supraorbital nerve accompanies it between the roof of the orbit and levator palpebrae superioris to the supraorbital notch.
