"The short ciliary nerves are a group of delicate nerve filaments that arise from the ciliary ganglion in the orbit These filaments emerge from the ganglia in two bundles: superior and inferior ones that proceed toward the globe, superior and inferior to the optic nerve, respectively. Each bundle contains 5–8 nerves in its initial course; some of them dividing further before entering the vagina bulbi (Tenon capsule). The nerves are very tortuous so that they can adjust to the movements of the globe. The short ciliary nerves are composed of three types of fibres: 1. Postganglionic parasympathetic fibres that innervate the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscles - thus, forming the efferent arm of the pupillary reflex arc; 2. Postganglionic sympathetic fibres that primarily innervate orbital vasculature; and, 3. Somatosensory fibres to the structures of the globe such as the cornea, facilitating the corneal reflex.1,2 "
