Ciliary body • Connects the choroid with the iris • Has three parts including: - The ciliary muscle is ring shaped muscle that controls the shape of the lens (accommodation) - The ciliary process is the attachment site for the zonules and produces the aqueous in the pars plicata - The ciliary ring is attached to the choroid and is composed of the pars plana.

Lens • Transparent, biconvex structure, held in place by ciliary zonules • Composed of 6 layers • Refracts light • Nutrition comes from aqueous humor … insoluble deposits of proteins build up over time = cataracts - A clouding of the lens and capsule • Live long enough and you WILL have some degree of cataract • cataracts also caused by other agents
