Iris of the eye

	Ciliary body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ciliary body is the part of the eye containing the ciliary muscle and ciliary processes.
		They are attached to the lens by connective tissue called the zonule of Zinn, and are responsible for shaping the lens to focus light on the retina.
		When the ciliary muscle relaxes, it flattens the lens which generally improves the focus for farther objects.

	Uvea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is traditionally divided into 3 or 4 regions, the iris, ciliary body, pars plana and choroid.
		For clinical use, the terms anterior uvea (ie, iris and ciliary body) and posterior uvea (ie, choroid) are now in common use, since diseases often spread beyond a single anatomical region of the uvea.
		Uveal vessels directly perfuse the ciliary body and iris, to support their metabolic needs, and indirectly supply diffusible nutrients to the outer retina, cornea and lens, which lack any intrinsic blood supply.

		It is suspended in the frontal or coronal plane anterior to the lens and ciliary body and surrounded by aqueous humour.
		The ciliary body is an approximately 5-6mm wide ring of tissue that extends from the scleral spur anteriorly to the ora serrata posteriorly.
		The anterior two-thirds of the ciliary body is occupied by the ciliary muscle which in conjunction with the lens zonules (suspensory ligament) and the natural elastic nature of the lens capsule functions to alter the refractive power of the lens.

		The ciliary body is an inward extension of the choroidea at the level of the lens.
		The inner surface of the ciliary body and its processes are lined by two layers of columnar cells which belong to the retina - the ciliary epithelium formed by the pars ciliaris of the retina.

		The choroid connects with the ciliary body toward the front of the eye and is attached to edges of the optic nerve at the back of the eye.
		The ciliary body is divisible into two parts: the pars plana and the pars plicata anteriorly.
		The ciliary body attaches to the iris at the iris root, and, at the ora serrata, posteriorly, the ciliary body joins the posterior continuation of the uvea, the choroid.

	The Ciliary Body and Iris
		The ciliary body is formed from the two layers comprising the rim of the optic cup, which undergo folding to form the ciliary processes.
		Mesenchyme located at the edge of the optic cup gives rise to the connective tissue of the ciliary body, the smooth muscle fibres of the ciliary muscle and the suspensory ligaments of the lens.
		The sphincter and dilator pupillae muscles form from the ectoderm of the optic cup and are situated in the mesenchyme at the edge of the anterior portion of the optic cup.

	Ciliary body
		The ciliary body is a ring of tissue that encircles the lens.
		The ciliary body contains smooth muscle fibers called ciliary muscles that help to control the shape of the lens.
		Towards the posterior surface of the lens there are ciliary processes which contain capillaries.

		The ciliary processes (processus ciliares) are formed by the inward folding of the various layers of the choroid, i.e., the choroid proper and the lamina basalis, and are received between corresponding foldings of the suspensory ligament of the lens.
		They are attached by their periphery to three or four of the ridges of the orbiculus ciliaris, and are continuous with the layers of the choroid: their opposite extremities are free and rounded, and are directed toward the posterior chamber of the eyeball and circumference of the lens.
		By its periphery it is continuous with the ciliary body, and is also connected with the posterior elastic lamina of the cornea by means of the pectinate ligament; its surfaces are flattened, and look forward and backward, the anterior toward the cornea, the posterior toward the ciliary processes and lens.

		It is suspended anterior to the lens and ciliary body and is surrounded by the aqueous humor.
		During accommodation when the ciliary muscle contracts, there is an anterior and inward shift of the ciliary body which serves to release tension on the zonules.
		It is bound by the lens, posterior zonules, and ciliary body anteriorly.

		Conclusion: Ringmelanoma or bleeding melanomas of the ciliary body are rare, but in doubtful cases of unilateral glaucoma with unknown ethiology of dense pigmentation of the iridocorneal angle or unknown reason for vitreous bleeding, the diagnosis melanoma of the ciliary body should be considered.

		If melanoma is in the ciliary body or the choroid, a person may have blurry vision or may have no symptoms, and the cancer may grow before it is noticed.
		As the tumor enlarges, the tumor may cause distortion of the pupil (iris melanoma), blurred vision (ciliary body melanoma) or markedly decreased visual acuity from a secondary retinal detachment caused by a choroidal melanoma.
