The long ciliary nerves, two or three in number, are given off from the nasociliary nerve as it crosses the optic nerve.
They accompany the short ciliary nerves from the ciliary ganglion, pierce the posterior part of the sclera, and running forward between it and the choroid, are distributed to the iris and cornea.
