Why is a Healthy Cornea Important?
The cornea is the eye’s outermost layer and plays an important role in our ability to see clearly. The primary function of the cornea is to allow light to pass into the eye so that it can reach the lens and then the retina. For effective sight, the cornea must be transparent. It must also bend the rays of light entering our eye to allow the eye to focus clearly. Changes in either the transparency or shape of the cornea can severely impair vision. Disorders that affect the cornea often cause severe vision loss.
