"The ciliary body is an approximately 5-6mm wide ring of tissue that extends from the scleral spur anteriorly to the ora serrata posteriorly. Temporally it measures 5.6-6.3mm, and nasally 4.6-5.2mm. It is divided into two zones, an anterior pars plicata (corona ciliaris) and a posterior pars plana. The ciliary body is approximately triangular on cross section; its base faces the anterior chamber and the apex blends posteriorly with the vascular choroid. The pars plicata is 2mm wide and consists of 70 radially arranged folds known as ciliary processes, each of which is 0.5-0.8mm high and 0.5mm wide."
