ABSTRACT

The ciliary body is the middle part of the uveal tract and is continuous anteriorly with the periphery of the iris and posteriorly with the choroid. The ciliary body forms a ring that runs around the inside of the anterior sclera, measuring about 6 mm wide (6.5 mm temporally, 5.5 mm nasally) and extending forward to the scleral spur and backward to the ora serrata. The surface landmark of the anterior aspect of the ciliary body is the point 1.5 mm posterior to the corneal limbus.
