Abstract

The cornea is the soft, transparent tissue that covers the front of the eye, and has the twin roles of protecting the inner eye and assisting vision. It is a remarkable structure, being almost totally transparent to visible light and providing the majority of the focussing power of the eye, as well as being resistant to external insult and durable enough to last most of us a lifetime. These properties derive from the unique microstructure of the cornea, specifically the arrangement of the fibrillar protein, collagen.
