The cornea is the transparent part of the front outer wall of the eye. It is rounded, occupies one-sixth of the outer surface, is about 1 mm thick, and consists mainly of vaseless connective tissue. The front of the cornea is slightly raised, curved like a sphere, with refraction. The cornea is rich in sensory nerve endings, and any small irritation, injury or inflammation can cause pain and tears.
