Corpus ciliare · Řasnaté těleso

Sense organs

Looks like

A ring of muscle and folded tissue behind the iris, holding the lens by fine fibres.

What it does

Changes lens shape for near focus and makes the aqueous fluid that fills the front of the eye.

Keeping it well

Tires with long near work; a break every 20 minutes to look far helps comfort. Inflammation here causes painful red eye.
