Thin filaments attached to the lens of the eye?
Suspensory ligaments, also known as zonules, are thin filaments that connect the ciliary body of the eye to the lens. These structures help to hold the lens in place and change its shape for focusing on objects at different distances. When ciliary muscles contract or relax, they alter the tension in the suspensory ligaments, which in turn changes the shape of the lens to facilitate accommodation for near or distant vision.
