The straight answer is YES. You can try it yourself by closing one eye and making the computer screen blurry (thats your ciliary muscle working). However the muscle's primary control is involuntary (you may find yourself fighting it as you try to make the screen blurry). There is debate about the topic because it is a smooth muscle and it is innervated by autonomic nerves, both of which are typically exclusively involuntary. Also be careful: on exams answer NO, since typical questions will be asking for the primary function.

Contains the ciliary muscle of the eye?
The ciliary muscle is located within the eye and is responsible for controlling the shape of the lens, which is crucial for focusing on objects at different distances. Contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle affect the thickness of the lens, allowing for accommodation of near and far vision.
Which is a type of muscle tissue that is most often controlled by conscious thought?
Skeletal muscle is most often controlled by conscious thought.
Is the ciliary muscle relaxed during distance vision?
Yes, the ciliary muscle is relaxed for distant vision, but is contracted for close vision.
What are the smooth muscle fibers called that support the lens?
The smooth muscle fibers that support the lens in the eye are called ciliary muscles. These muscles contract and relax to change the shape of the lens, allowing for accommodation and focusing on objects at different distances.
What is an example of a involuntary muscle?
The Drug released as Viagra, targets an involuntary groin muscle in men. When taken it relaxes that muscle to allow the flow to pass and correcting e.d. Temporarily.
Is the ciliary muscle part of the ciliary body?
the ciliary muscle is the smooth muscle of the ciliary body
What is the difference between the voluntary and the involuntary muscle movement?
A voluntary muscle performs movement on command. Involuntary muscle performs with out conscious command.
What is the smooth muscle structure that is attached to the lens?
iris and ciliary muscle
What muscle is primarily under conscious control?
Skeletal muscle
What is the difference between the ciliary body and the ciliary muscle in the human eye?
The ciliary body is a structure in the eye that produces aqueous humor, while the ciliary muscle is a muscle that helps to change the shape of the lens for focusing.
How does ciliary muscle change the shape of the lens?
its a muscle
Which eye muscles are responsible for accommodation?
The ciliary muscle as well as the ciliary body.
What is the medical terminology Combining form meaning ciliary muscle?
