what is the action of the lens and suspensory ligaments during near and far vision?
accommodation reflex
when the eye focuses on distant objects, the lens holds itself in a flattened shape due to traction from the suspensory ligaments. ligaments pull the edges of the elastic lens capsule towards the surrounding ciliary body and by opposing the internal pressure within the elastic lens, keep it relatively flattened.









































opposite of fixating on a near object, the ciliary muscle relaxes and the diameter of the lens increases to increase the lens’ size. the tension along the suspensory ligaments is increased to flatten the lens and decrease the curvature and achieve a lower refractive power.

suspensory ligament









































a suspensory ligament is a ligament that supports a body part, especially an organ.









































types include:









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of axilla, also known as gerdy's ligament









































bullet::::- cooper's ligaments, also known as the suspensory ligaments of cooper or suspensory ligaments of breast









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of clitoris









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of duodenum, also known as the ligament of treitz









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of eyeball, also known as lockwood's ligament









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of lens, also known as the zonule of zinn or zonular fibre









































bullet::::- suspensory ligament of ovary
