What is the Cornea?
The cornea is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of your eye, acting like a protective shield. Think of it as the eye’s outer window, allowing light to enter and focusing it onto the retina at the back of your eye. It plays a crucial role in bending (refracting) light to help you see clearly. Maintaining the health and clarity of the cornea is vital for sharp vision and overall eye function.
