The sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia are a component of the ciliary ganglion, a parasympathetic ganglion located just behind the eye. These roots carry sensory information from the eye to the brain.

Structure[edit | edit source]

The sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia originate from the nasociliary nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve. They carry sensory information from the cornea, iris, and ciliary body to the brain.

Function[edit | edit source]

The sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia play a crucial role in transmitting sensory information from the eye to the brain. This information includes light intensity, color, and other visual stimuli.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Damage to the sensory roots of the ciliary ganglia can result in a variety of vision problems, including blurred vision, double vision, and photophobia.
