The function of ciliary muscles is it controls the accomodation for viewing objects at varying distances and regulates the flow of aqueous humour into Schelm's canal. It changes the shape of the lens within the eye, not the size of the pupil which is carried out by the sphincter pupillae muscle. The muscle has parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation.

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.
Are the iris and ciliary muscles located in the front part of the choroid muscles Involuntary?
iris and ciliary muscles
Are the ciliary muscles considered voluntary skeletal muscles?
No, the ciliary muscles are not considered voluntary skeletal muscles. They are involuntary smooth muscles that control the shape of the lens in the eye.
Which eye muscles are responsible for accommodation?
The ciliary muscle as well as the ciliary body.
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.
What is the function of the ciliary in the eye?
Be sure not to confuse the roles of the ciliary muscles and pupillary muscles; this is a mistake that even the experts make at times. The ciliary muscles do not control the size of the pupils - this is the job of the sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae. The ciliary muscles adjust the shape of the lenses in order to focus the eyes. They are attached to the zonules of Zinn, which are in turn attached to the lenses. Contraction of the ciliary muscles slackens the zonules so they don't pull so much on the lenses. The lenses become rounder, and the eyes can focus on a nearby object. When the ciliary muscles relax, the zonules pull the edges of the lenses so they become flatter and thinner for distance vision. This is the basic mechanism of accomodation. There is some disagreement regarding the details - look up Helmholtz and Schachar if you are interested.
What structure surrounding the lens that connects the choroid and it alters the shape of the lens?
The ciliary body, which consists of ciliary muscles and ciliary processes, is the structure that surrounds the lens and connects to the choroid. The ciliary body controls the shape of the lens through the action of the ciliary muscles, which can adjust the thickness of the lens to allow for focusing on objects at different distances.
Smooth muscle stuctures in the eye?
Ciliary muscles
What is paralysis of the ciliary muscles of the eye called?
cycloplegia
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.
What muscle controls the shape of the lens?
the lens is held vertically in the eye's interior by suspensory ligaments or more specifically called the ciliary zonule, attached to the ciliary body. so suspensory ligaments is the answer(-:
What is a group of ciliated epithelial cell called?
Within the Eye, the Ciliary Body consists of four levels: the Ciliary Muscles; the Vascular layer; the Ciliary process, and the Ciliary Epithelium.
