What is another word for Ciliary Veins?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪli͡əɹɪ vˈe͡ɪnz] (IPA) 
The ciliary veins are an important component of the eye's vascular system, responsible for draining excess fluids from the ciliary body. These veins are sometimes referred to as the venae ciliares or the vasa ciliaris posterior. Other synonyms for ciliary veins include the intraocular veins, ocular veins, and uveal veins. The ciliary veins connect with the episcleral veins, vortex veins, and anterior ciliary veins. Dysfunction of the ciliary veins can lead to serious ophthalmic conditions such as glaucoma, uveitis, and iritis. Proper functioning of the ciliary veins is imperative for optimal eye health, and regular eye exams are recommended to monitor their function.
