What does CORNEA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The clear, dome-shaped outer layer at the front of the eye that covers the iris and pupil and helps focus light.
The cornea forms the eye's main window to the outside world, bending incoming light before it reaches the lens and retina behind it. Because the cornea has no blood vessels of its own, it stays perfectly transparent, drawing oxygen instead from tears and the surrounding fluid. Injuries, infections, or clouding of the cornea can seriously affect vision, which is why eye doctors examine it closely and why corneal transplants are among the most common transplant surgeries performed. The word comes from the Latin for horny, describing the tissue's tough, slightly curved structure.
How CORNEA is used
