Question
7/15
what is the function of the cornea?
to adjust the eyes focus
to let light into the eye
to focus light onto the retina
to protect the eye from dust
Brief Explanations
The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye. It primarily refracts (bends) incoming light to focus it onto the retina, which is essential for clear vision. Adjusting focus is the role of the lens, letting light in is a secondary effect (the pupil controls light amount), and protection is a minor secondary function, not its primary role.
