    Zonules

    The zonules are arranged in a radial pattern around the lens of the eye and connect it to the ciliary muscle.

    Lens

    The eye lens is a transparent, flexible structure which, thanks to its varying degree of curvature (see ciliary muscle and zonular fibers), enables the process of accommodation (focusing) and thus sharp vision at different distances, especially at close range.
