Body was changed:

The small communicating branch of the ciliary ganglion is a small branch of the nasociliary nerve which supplies sensory fibres through the ciliary ganglion. These fibres do not synapse in the ganglion but pass directly into the short ciliary nerves to supply sensation to the sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body.
