A member asked:
How does the eye direct light onto the fovea centralis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cornea and Lens: Both these structures bend the light so that it focuses the light ideally on the fovea. Glasses are used to help get the light perfectly focused on the fovea if the cornea and lens don't naturally.
