What Are Corneas?
Corneas
Say: KOR-nee-uhz
The corneas are part of your eyes, but you've probably never noticed them before. They're thin, clear, and cover your eyes. Corneas are important because they help you see by focusing light as it enters the eye. So take a good look at your eye the next time you look in the mirror, and try to spot your cornea!
