The cornea is essential to vision. It refracts and focuses light entry, acts as a filter screening out damaging ultraviolet rays, and helps shield the rest of the eye from harmful matter. Because the cornea has many functions, corneal disease, injury, and genetic or physiological problems can cause many eyesight problems.
