Cornea: The cornea is the dome-shaped outer layer of the eye that helps in focusing light by refracting or bending light and thereby helps in vision.
Iris: The iris is a circular structure present behind the cornea and regulates the amount of light that enters the eye by changing the size of the pupil.
