    How to use "Ciliary muscle" in context?

    Ciliary muscle exerts a downward pressure on the eyeball to keep it in its socket. This muscle is divided into three parts - the inferior, oblique, and medial ciliary muscles. The inferior ciliary muscle encircles the inside of the inferior spherical lens and helps to rotate it. The oblique ciliary muscle runs along the lower border of the epicanthic fold, and the medial ciliary muscle is located in the middle of the orbit. Together, these muscles control the shape and position of the lens. Damage to the ciliary muscle can result in difficulty seeing, known as myopia.
