The ciliary body is a muscular structure located behind the iris and that alters the shape of the lens during focusing and produces the aqueous humor that bathes the anterior chamber. This vascular ciliary body also connects the choroid with the circumference of the iris. The ciliary body provides attachment to the lens; contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscle of the ciliary body controls thickness (and therefore the focus) of the lens.

The leans is a transparent structure in the eye, it is biconvex in shape (both surfaces are shaped like the exterior of a circle). It is bordered anteriorly (in front) by a ring it forms with the posterior side of the iris. The lens is held by the suspensory ligament and has a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 4 mm in an adult. These measurements vary due to change in the lens structure during accommodation and aging.
