What is the Function of muscles that surround lens eye?
1. Ciliary Muscles: Control the shape of the lens, allowing for focusing on objects at different distances. By contracting and relaxing, the ciliary muscles change the curvature of the lens, increasing or decreasing its focusing power.
2. Sphincter Pupillae: Regulate the size of the pupil, the black circular opening at the center of the iris. The sphincter pupillae muscle contracts to constrict the pupil, limiting the amount of light entering the eye. This is often seen in bright conditions to reduce the amount of light reaching the retina.
3. Dilator Pupillae: Controls the pupil's dilation or widening. The dilator pupillae muscle relaxes to enlarge the pupil, allowing more light to enter the eye. It's typically active in low-light conditions to enhance vision in dim environments.
These muscles work together to ensure clear and focused vision at various distances and light levels.
