How can the curved cornea and lens of the human eye affect the light entering the eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Focusing: The cornea and the lens are actually both types of lenses that focus the light coming into the eye. The cornea has about 40 diopters of focusing power and the lens 20 diopters.
