Cornea


Explanation: Light enters the eye through the cornea, the clear, curved layer in front of the iris and pupil. By controlling the size of the iris, it controls the shape of the eyes. The cornea serves as a protective covering for the front of the eye and also helps focus light on the retina at the back of the eye.
