What is the function of the cornea?
1. Protect the rest of the eye from microbes, dust and any other substances that may harm them.
2. The cornea acts as the outer lens of the eye and is like a window that controls the focus and light entry of the eye.
3. When the light reaches the cornea of the eye, it reverses the light on the lens of the eye and then the lens of the eye refocus on the retina.
4. The cornea focuses light rays and reflects them to be located on the retina accurately.
5. The retina converts light into signals sent to the optic nerve to the brain, which translates into images.
6. Corneal acts as a filter (filter) where it excludes some of the ultraviolet radiation to the sun that destroys the eye.
