What's the difference between ciliary and miliary?
Ciliary
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to the cilia, or eyelashes. Also applied to special parts of the eye itself; as, the ciliary processes of the choroid coat; the ciliary muscle, etc.
(a.) Pertaining to or connected with the cilia in animal or vegetable organisms; as, ciliary motion.

Miliary
Definition:
(a.) Like millet seeds; as, a miliary eruption.
(a.) Accompanied with an eruption like millet seeds; as, a miliary fever.
