Solution

The ciliary muscles control the shape of the eye lens.

Explanation:

The ciliary muscles alter the shape of the eye lens to adjust its focal length, a process known as accommodation. When viewing nearby objects, these muscles contract to make the lens thicker and more curved; when viewing distant objects, they relax to flatten the lens.
