Your eye has a clear, dome-shaped front cover that you cannot see but rely on every single second. That clear cover is called the cornea. In Urdu, it is known as \u0642\u0631\u0646\u06cc\u06c1 (Qarnia) or \u0622\u0646\u06a9\u06be \u06a9\u0627 \u0634\u0641\u0627\u0641 \u067e\u0631\u062f\u06c1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of the cornea as the windshield of your eye. Just like a car windshield protects you while letting you see the road clearly, the cornea protects the inside of your eye while letting light pass through. It sits right in front of the colored part of your eye (iris) and the black circle (pupil).<\/span><\/p>\n

The cornea is responsible for about 65 to 75 percent of your eye’s focusing power. That means before light even reaches the lens inside your eye, the cornea has already done most of the work to help you see clearly. It is also one of the most sensitive parts of the human body, which is why even a tiny speck of dust in your eye feels so painful.<\/span><\/p>\n

One interesting fact about the cornea is that it has no blood vessels at all. Instead, it gets its nutrients from tears and a fluid inside the eye. This is what keeps it crystal clear and transparent.<\/span><\/p>\n
