intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system

No. Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (like the intestinal muscles). Two skeletal muscles in the middle ear automatically respond to sound.
The iris and the ciliary muscle
Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
Smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system and are responsible for the involuntary actions of internal organs such as the stomach, intestines, blood vessels, and bladder. These muscles regulate functions like digestion, circulation, and urination without conscious effort.
Since continuous blood flow is necessary to keep us alive, if the cardiac muscles were NOT controlled by the autonomic nervous system, we would die as soon as we fell asleep and quit thinking about making the muscle move. Sweet Dreams...
They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) contributes to the stability of the internal environment of the body (homeostasis). The autonomic nervous system continuously makes adjustments to our body to maintain equilibrium. The ANS regulates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands. One example of the function of the autonomic nervous system is when our pupils constrict when bright light is shining into our eyes. There are two main branches of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
The nervous system controls breathing rate.
Voluntary muscles are controlled by the central nervous system.
Skeletal muscles are controlled by motor neurons in the somatic branch of the peripheral nervous system, which is controlled by the central nervous system.
The two functional classifications of reflexes are autonomic reflexes, which regulate activities of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and somatic reflexes, which involve skeletal muscles. Autonomic reflexes are involuntary and controlled by the autonomic nervous system, while somatic reflexes are voluntary and controlled by the somatic nervous system.
