When the ciliary muscle relaxes, it flattens the lens, generally improving the focus for farther objects. When it contracts, the lens becomes more convex, generally improving the focus for closer objects.
 
The ciliary body has three functions: accommodation, [[aqueous humor]] production and the production and maintanence of the lens zonules. One of the most eseentialessential roles of the ciliary body is the production of the aqueous humor, which is responsible for providing most of the nutrients for the lens and the [[cornea]] and involved in waste management of these areas. It is the main target of drugs against [[glaucoma]], as the ciliary body is responsible for aqueous humor production; lowering aqueous humor production will cause cause a subsequent drop in the [[intraocular pressure]].
