| * **Controlling the Shape of the Lens**: The ciliary body is composed of smooth muscle fibers that control the shape of the lens, allowing us to focus on objects at different distances. When the ciliary muscle contracts, it changes the shape of the lens, making it more rounded and allowing us to focus on close objects. When the ciliary muscle relaxes, the lens becomes flatter, allowing us to focus on distant objects. | * **Controlling the Shape of the Lens**: The ciliary body is composed of smooth muscle fibers that control the shape of the lens, allowing us to focus on objects at different distances.
