Ciliary body

The ciliary body is a part of the eye located behind the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. It has two main functions: it helps change the shape of the lens to focus on objects at different distances (a process called accommodation) and produces the aqueous humor, a fluid that nourishes the eye and maintains its pressure. The ciliary body is crucial for clear vision, allowing you to see well up close or far away. Its functioning is essential for overall eye health and optimal vision.
