These muscles are known as the Papillary Muscles, and their fibres contain pigment that gives eyes their characteristic colour. They contract in response to a reduction in the level of ambient light, leading to a widening of the opening through which light can enter the eye (the pupil), and so allow more light to reach the retina in order to allow us to see in dim lighting conditions. When they relax, this leads to the pupil becoming smaller (the iris - the name given to the muscular ring - becomes more visible when the fibres are relaxed).

What is the function of the muscles in the human eye?
The eye lens is kept in place by ciliary muscles. These muscles can contract or relax.If the ciliary muscles contract or relax the focal length of the eye lens becomes large or small.Or in other words the function of the eye lens is to increase or decrease the focal length of the eye lens.
The function of the lens is to?
The function of the lens is to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye. It adjusts its shape using ciliary muscles to help the eye see objects at different distances by changing its focal length.
What is the process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature?
The process by which the lens of the eye changes its curvature is called accommodation. This involves the ciliary muscles surrounding the lens contracting or relaxing to change the shape of the lens, allowing the eye to focus on objects at different distances.
How does the eye lens focus?
Muscles in the eye surrounding the lens contract stretching it out, flattening it; or relax, letting it thicken. These changes in shape refocus the lens.
What functions do the extrinsic muscles of the eye perform?
It's the string like things on the back of the eye next to the optic nerve, it allows the eye to move around.Human eye have ciliary muscles not eye muscles,which holds the eye lens in position.these muscles controls the focal length of eye lens.They change the shape of the lens. (Novanet)
What is the object pulled on by ciliary muscles to bend the light?
The object pulled on by ciliary muscles to bend light is the lens of the eye. The ciliary muscles change the shape of the lens, which allows the eye to focus on objects at different distances.
Parasympathetic fibers of which nerve innervate smooth muscles of the lens of the eye - the eye muscles that cause the eye to bulge to accommodate close vision?
Optic
What is the functions of the muscles around the lens in the human eye?
The muscles around the lens in the human eye, primarily the ciliary muscles, play a crucial role in controlling the shape of the lens for focusing light on the retina. When the ciliary muscles contract, they reduce tension on the zonules (ligaments), allowing the lens to become thicker for near vision. Conversely, when the ciliary muscles relax, the lens flattens for distant vision. This process is known as accommodation, enabling the eye to adjust focus depending on the distance of objects.
What do the muscles do when they see far away?
For the eye, the lens becomes thinner?
What part of the eye uses small muscles to change its shape so that you can focus on near or distant objects?
The ciliary muscles are responsible for changing the shape of the lens in the eye so that you can focus on near or distant objects. When these muscles contract, they thicken the lens for near vision, and when they relax, the lens becomes thinner for distant vision.
Which eye parts helps eye to adjust the focal length of the eye lens?
The ciliary muscles which relax to help the eye see far away by expanding and pulling the lens and stretching it and contract to scrunch the lens up and see close up. By shrinking the lens, they allow it to bend light at a more drastic angle to focus on close up images.
What structure changes its shape to focus light at the back of the eye?
The lens of the eye also called the crystalline lens.
