Abstract
Together with the tear film, the cornea is the first optical interface of the visual system and is responsible for about 80% of the refractive convergence power of the eye, determining whether a person is emmetropic, myopic or hyperopic. It also acts a barrier against trauma and microbes. The cornea is often described as the “window to the eye”.
