Expansion on sympathetic nerves

Currently, the article states that sympathetic nerves accompany the ophthalmic artery and optic nerve through the optic canal, but does not expand on where those nerves come from. I did not see this explained on the sympathetic nerve page. Someone with knowledge and/or resources would help future users by briefly expanding on the origin of these sympathetic nerves and briefly stating their eventual termination.

Excessive images

The first image in the "Additional images" section offers little article enhancement and the next three nothing that cannot be found through the two in the infobox or the "Optic canal" image. While it can be argued that adding many images could give some improvement, that might otherwise be lacking in a stub or start-class article, it does not improve an article to be inundated with images just because they are "out there" needing a home. If a policy or guideline specifically states (policy in this case) Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files, nor a "manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal" (or picturebook) then there is a legitimate argument that seven images on a start-class article is providing just the opposite of policy.

I can see two, possibly three but an end of consensus by silence is when concerns are voiced unless there is sound rationale to argue improvements by ignoring the "rules".

If someone cares to enter into a dialog on some to keep, or boldly make improvement by trimming, that would be great. If not I will delete three or four per above comments and the edit summary rationale of the reverted edits. Thank you, Otr500 (talk) 15:15, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
