Cornea

The cornea is the protruding bulge at the front of the eye, which is not easily noticed by a layman looking directly at it. It is transparent and its optical function is to refract light entering the eye through the pupil and onto the lens, which then directs it toward the retina.

The bulge varies in curvature size between individuals and throughout an individual’s life. It may become flatter as one gets older.
