Hey guys -
In FA 2013, it says that when ciliary muscle tightens, it relaxes the suspensory ligaments (zonular) fibers and therefore lens become more convex. - It's a process of how eyes accommodate when focusing on near objects.
My question is wouldn't the tightening (contraction) of the ciliary muscles pull the zonular fibers more? I don't get how zonula gets relaxed.
Thanks
