the transparent, convex, anterior portion of the outer fibrous coat of the eyeball is a tough membrane that covers the iris and the pupil and is continuous with the sclera Submitted by Jeffrey S Fox, foxjeff1@pilot msu edu
The cornea is the transparent skin covering the outside of your eye. the transparent protective covering on the outer surface of your eye (, from cornu ; because its structure is like horn)
The outer part of the eye that provides 70% of the eye's refractive power The cornea is approximately 500 microns thick ( 5 millimeter) and consists of 5 layers epithelium, Bowman's membrane, stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium
The cornea is the crystal clear dome that covers the front of the eye The majority (70%) of the bending (refracting) of light rays is accomplished by the cornea
The outer, transparent, dome-like structure that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber The cornea provides approximately two-thirds of the optical power of the eye Light passes into the eye through the cornea allowing vision Light also passes out of the eye allowing the iris and pupil of the eye to be seen The cornea can be considered to have five layers: 1 The corneal epithelium 2 Bowman's layer 3 Corneal stroma 4 Descemet's layer 5 The corneal endothelium
The transparent front window of the eye Light passes into the eye allowing vision and also out of the eye allowing the iris and pupil of the eye to be seen The cornea can be considered to have 5 layers: the corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, corneal stroma, Descemet's layer, and the corneal endothelium
