Cornea

The cornea is a clear layer at the front and center of the eye. In fact, the cornea is so clear that you may not even realize it is there. The cornea is located just in front of the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. The main purpose of the cornea is to help focus light as it enters the eye. If you wear contact lenses, the contact lens rests on your cornea.
