How does the suspensory ligaments work to focus an image of a close object?

Suspensory ligaments are attached to the lens of the eye and can change the shape of the lens to help focus on close objects. When focusing on a close object, the ciliary muscles contract, which loosens the tension on the suspensory ligaments. This allows the lens to become more rounded, increasing its refractive power to focus the image on the retina.

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.
