The eye sockets that are formed by your skull offer physical protection for your eyes, along with providing support for all the ocular structures. For a few specific examples, your eye sockets give support and attachment points to allow skin/eyelids and conjunctiva to seamlessly cover and protect your eyes, it allows your extraocular muscles to work by giving the superior oblique something to attach to, and it does help protect your eye from blunt force trauma by encircling it.
Your eye sockets are like any other bone structure in your body.
