ABSTRACT
Evidence has accumulated recently which challenges the conventional description of the parasympathetic division of the oculomotor nerve pathway to intraocular smooth muscles. It is claimed that the pathway from the midbrain to the ciliary muscle is direct and uninterrupted by a synapse in the ciliary ganglion. A similar, separate claim has been made regarding the innervation of the sphincter muscle of the iris. The weaknesses in the arguments supporting the revised versions are discussed in this review and they are rejected in favour of the conventional pathway.
