Cornea<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The cornea is a window of transparent tissue at the front of the eyeball. It allows light to pass into the eye and provides focus so that images can be seen. Various diseases or injury can make the cornea either cloudy or out of shape. This prevents the normal\u00a0 passage of light and affects vision.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
