Are the eyelids controlled by voluntary muscles?

The eyelids are controlled by both voluntary and involuntary muscles.

The levator palpebrae superioris muscle is a voluntary muscle that is responsible for raising the upper eyelid. The orbicularis oculi muscle is a voluntary muscle that is responsible for closing the eyelids.

The tarsal muscles are involuntary muscles that are responsible for blinking and helping to spread tears across the surface of the eye.
