Eyelash Belt

The ciliary zonule (zonula ciliaris) is an important structure of the eye that plays a key role in maintaining the shape and position of the lens. It consists of thin threads called cilia that are attached to the back surface of the lens.

The ciliary band plays an important role in the accommodation of the eye, that is, the ability to change the focal length to focus at different distances. When the cilia contract, they tighten the ciliary band and the lens becomes more convex, allowing the eye to focus on a close object. When the cilia relax, they become more flexible and allow the lens to become flatter, allowing focus on a distant object.

In addition to accommodation, the ciliary band is also involved in stabilizing the position of the lens during movements of the eyeball. When the eye moves, the cilia move with it, providing stability to the lens and preventing it from shifting due to eyeball movement.

In addition, the ciliary girdle is involved in moisturizing the eye and maintaining the transparency of the lens. The cilia secrete a fluid that moisturizes the surface of the lens and prevents it from drying out.

However, if the cilia become damaged or stop functioning properly, it can lead to the development of various eye diseases such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Therefore, it is important to maintain the health of the ciliary girdle and monitor its functions.

Ciliary bands are one of the types of ligaments that are located inside our eye and play an important role in the functioning of the visual system. They consist of cilia, which are connected to each other using collagen fibers. This band helps hold the lens in place and ensures light is properly focused on the retina.

The ciliary band has the shape of a half ring and is located between the iris and the lens of the eye. It consists of two parts - the front part, which holds the lens, and the back part, which helps maintain its shape and size.

The length of the ciliary belt is about 7 millimeters. It has a unique structure consisting of several thousand microscopic cilia. Each eyelash is a small hair-like structure. They are covered with a layer of thin keratin threads and are directed towards the center of the eye. These cilia ensure proper movement of the lens in the eye and contribute to visual acuity.

However, ciliary bands can cause various eye diseases, such as dystrophy of the ligamentous apparatus of the lens or conjunctival disease - clouding of the edges of a corneal wound. In addition, the ciliary band can be damaged during some types of eye surgery. Restoring the ciliary band after damage takes about a month.

Overall, the ciliary girdle is one of the important elements of our visual system, and its functioning remains a poorly understood aspect of ophthalmology. Research in this area is helping to improve the treatment of glaucoma, from
