Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cornea is a clear, transparent layer that covers the front part of the eye. It helps to focus the light that enters the eye and protects the eye from injury or damage. The iris is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light that enters the eye by controlling the size of the pupil. The pupil is the black circular opening in the center of the iris through which light enters the eye. The lens is a clear structure behind the iris that helps to focus the light onto the retina.
