How do ciliary muscles affect the functioning of eye?

Solution

Ciliary muscles are capable of contracting and relaxing. Therefore, they are able to change the thickness of eye lens, thereby changing its focal length. Changing focal length helps us to see the nearby and far-off objects distinctly. 
Therefore, power of accomodation of the eye is due to the function of ciliary muscles.
