Cornea

Revision as of 22:27, 25 May 2020 by Dlskidmore (talk | contribs) (reference added)

The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye through which you can see the Iris and Pupil. It has an index of refraction of 1.376[1], and a curved outer surface, contributing to the refractive state of the eye. The Cornea is about 80% of the eye's internal lens power. If you have LASIK or PRK surgery it thins the cornea to change your refractive state.
