Ciliary muscle (Musculus ciliaris) The intrinsic muscles of the eye are muscles that control the movements of the lens and pupil and thus participate in the accommodation of vision. There are three smooth muscles that comprise this group; ciliary, dilatator pupillae and sphincter pupillae muscles.

ciliary muscle :-

- Small muscle in the eye's ciliary body.

- Part of the middle layer of the eye (uvea).

- Responsible for accommodation, the eye's focusing ability.

- Contracts to adjust the shape of the lens in the eye.

- Contraction thickens the lens for close-up focus.

- Relaxation flattens the lens for distant focus.

- Enables clear vision at various distances.

- Helps the eye adapt without external adjustments.
