No doubt about it, your eye is full of fragile stuff. Thank goodness for your cornea, that tough, transparent, dome-shaped cover on the outside of the colored part of your eye. It defends against dust, debris, and even bacteria. The curved shape of the cornea also bends light as it enters your eye, helping to focus images on the retina.
