The straight answer is YES. You can try it yourself by closing one eye and making the computer screen blurry (thats your ciliary muscle working). However the muscle's primary control is involuntary (you may find yourself fighting it as you try to make the screen blurry). There is debate about the topic because it is a smooth muscle and it is innervated by autonomic nerves, both of which are typically exclusively involuntary. Also be careful: on exams answer NO, since typical questions will be asking for the primary function.
