What does the cornea do in the human eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Front window: The cornea is transparent and has refractive qualities. This means that it lets light into the eye, and modifies it by focusing so that you see well. It is the front window of the eye and also is a protective cover for the inside of the eye.
