Cornea – the eye’s front window

The cornea is the transparent layer forming the front of the eye, through which light enters.

$The cornea is the front most lens of the eye, it refracts light$

The corner shop (cornea) has a great big window.

$The cornea refracts light so it is directed to the retina at the back of the eyes chamber$

One of the jobs of the cornea is to initially refract – change the direction – of the light so that it is directed to the retina. Further refraction is achieved by the lens, which focuses the light more accurately onto the retina.
