Eye Accommodation Made Easy

This video will cover the basics of eye accommodation. Included are the basics of the suspensory ligaments (zonules), lens, and ciliary body muscle functions with regard to how it focuses your eye.

    Ciliary body is like a sphincter. That just made years of confusion wash away. Thank you.

    No other video explained the ciliary muscle like a sphincter. I was always confused in the two- dimensional picture of how ciliary muscle contracts and the ligaments relaxed. This bothered me for quite a while but you, out of all the videos I have watched explained the muscle like a sphincter. Thank you.

    Finished off my anatomy without ever understanding how the suspensory ligaments really were loosened when ciliary body constricts, always had trouble with understanding how. I was always thinking in a too 2-d organization, but as soon as you did the gesture with your hands at 2:54 it became so obvious to me. Priceless, wonderful feeling, thank you so much! :D

    Actually the video didn’t help me. What helped is the diagram with a coronal section which showed that when the ciliary muscles contract, they become shorter and *thicker*, and hence the distance between them and the lens decrease. Because of this, the zonules tension decrease (as the zonules don’t change their length). As the zonules become looser, the lens are allowed to be thickened. (When the muscles relaxed, the zonules stretched the lens and make them flat.) Anyway, as the lens thicken, its power increases. (Pretty sure you don’t need this anymore haha considering it’s been 5 years. Just wanted to share what helped me :) )

    @@nhnhnhnhnh Very nice additional explanation. Indeed, the video did not fully explain how "contracting" causes the "loosening", which was tough for me to understand at first, too. I actually had to make a drawing for myself, so finally the penny dropped. It is super important to understand this. To also understand how in most cases myopia initially develops due to ciliary spasm (pseudo myopia)

    OMG, you are a life savor. I'm a psych major and I have a Sensation & Perception Exam tomorrow morning and I just could not understand how the the relaxed ciliary muscle in turn forces the suspended fibers "zonules zinn" to become stretched causing the lens to remain flat allowing the eye to be focused on distant objects. However, when the lens needs to accommodate to focus on closer objects the ciliary muscle contracts, reducing the tension on the "zonules zinn", enabling the lens to bulge or become round. By depicting the eye from a different anatomical direction I was able to better understand the exact motion of the ciliary muscle as it contracts. It's important to fixate on the idea that when the ciliary muscle contracts it actually grows smaller essentially trying to suffocate the lens almost. As a result the suspended muscles of the "zonules zinn", who were once stretched to maximum potential which were pulling the lens to a flat state now loosens it's tension providing the lens to take on a more convex shape allowing it to adjust its refractive power to fixate on the closer object allowing it to stay focused on the fovea. Wow, the power of the internet...why even go to class. P.s. I guess Sensation & Perception does make the world go round!! Lol. God Bless:)

    well, that's what you do as a baby.

You might be able to train it through meditation and/or martial arts but it should be (slightly) faster than a normal brain can process the focussing and in that time, we get the Stopped Clock Illusion.
