What is the Cornea?

The cornea is a dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. It is made up of five layers and is responsible for approximately 65-75% of the eye’s focusing power. Because it has no blood vessels, it receives nutrients from tears and the aqueous humor (fluid in the eye). A healthy cornea is essential for sharp, clear vision.
