The cornea » is the clear, dome-shaped front surface of the eye that plays a vital role in vision. It acts as the eye’s outermost lens, helping to focus light onto the retina so that clear images can be formed. Although transparent and seemingly simple, the cornea is a highly specialized structure responsible for a significant portion of the eye’s focusing power.
