What does ciliary body do?
The ciliary body is behind the iris in the human eye. Tiny cilia (fibers) called zonules attach the ciliary body to the eye's lens. When focusing on close objects, the ciliary body contracts and the zonules relax, allowing the lens to thicken and improve the focus. When looking at a distant object, the ciliary body relaxes and the zonules contract, making the lens thinner for sharper distance vision.
What is the function of the ciliary body?
Consists of ciliary processes which capillaries secrete aqueous humor and ciliary muscle which changes the shape of lens for viewing objects in different distances.
Muscular structure that manipulates the lens?
