Zonular fibers

The zonular fibers are fibers which connect the lens to the rest of the eye. Collectively, they are known as the suspensory ligament of the lens.

More specifically, the zonula ciliaris splits into two layers, one of which is thin and lines the hyaloid fossa; the other is named the suspensory ligament of the lens.

It is thicker, and passes over the ciliary body to be attached to the capsule of the lens a short distance in front of its equator.
