what happends in relaxaton fo the ciliarz body?
om contraction?
om contraction?
Relaxation of the ciliary muscle in the ciliary body changes the shape of the lens from a default sphere to a relatively flat
shape and allows distance vision.
Parasympathetic stimulation of the ciliary muscle causes it to
contract like a sphincter, reducing tension on the lens and allowing it to rounden. This increased convexity increases refraction for near vision, the process of accommodation.
