Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cornea is a clear layer on the front of the eye that serves as a protective barrier and also helps to refract or bend incoming light rays towards a lens located behind it.

Answer: A, B, and C 
 The iris, pupil, and cornea all work together to regulate the amount of light entering the eye and help to focus incoming light onto the lens. The iris controls the size of the pupil, which in turn controls the amount of light entering the eye, and the cornea is responsible for bending light towards the lens.
