The '''ciliary body''' is the part of the [[eye]] containing the [[ciliary muscle]] and [[ciliary processes]]. There are two sets of ciliary muscles in the eye. They are near the front of the eye, above and below the [[Lens (vision)|lens]]. They are attached to the lens by connective tissue called the [[zonularzonule of fibersZinn]], and are responsible for shaping the lens to focus light on the [[retina]].
 
When the ciliary muscle relaxes, it flattens the lens which generally improves the focus for farther objects. When it contracts, the lens becomes more convex which generally improves the focus for closer objects.
