Question
Ciliary muscles of human eye can contract or relax. How does it help in the normal functioning
of the eye?
✓

Answer

Ciliary muscles get relaxed and the eye lens becomes thin when the eye is looking at a distant object, and these muscles contract and make the eye-lens thick when the eye is looking at a nearby object. Thus, ciliary muscles help in the normal functioning of the eye by changing thethickness of the eye-lens while focussing.
