Anatomy of the cornea.

Anatomy of the cornea. This magnified image of a section of the eye demonstrates the structure of the cornea and the limbus. The cornea composes the outermost layer of the eye. From front to back these layers are.

The cornea is a transparent structure that together with the lens provides the refractive power of the eye. The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris pupil and anterior chamber. This middle layer of the cornea is approximately 500 microns thick.

The cornea is the transparent part of the eye that covers the front portion of the eye. In humans the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres. It covers the pupil the opening at the center of the eye iris the colored part of the eye and anterior chamber the fluid filled inside of the eye.

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris pupil and anterior chamber. It is approximately 05 mm thick at the center and gradually increases in thickness toward the periphery. The corneas main function is to refract or bend light.

In the average adult the horizontal diameter of the cornea is 115 to 120 mm1 and about 10 mm larger than the vertical diameter. This outer layer of the cornea is five to seven cells thick. This is a very thin 8 to 14 microns and dense fibrous sheet.

Together with the lens the cornea refracts light accounting for approximately two thirds of the eyes total optical powerin humans the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 dioptres.
