text: The cornea is made up of five distinct layers: the epithelium, the outermost, protective layer of the cornea; the Bowman membrane, this second layer is extreme tough and difficult to penetrate further protecting the eye; the stroma, the thickest layer of the cornea, consisting of water, collagen fibers and other connective tissue components that give the cornea its strength, elasticity and clarity; Descemet membrane, a thin, strong inner layer that also acts as a protective layer; and the endothelium, the innermost layer consisting of specialized cells that pump excess water out of the cornea.
text: These layers protect the eye from infectious or irritating material, and they serve as a refractive medium that bends incoming light toward the inner lens, where the light is directed to the retina, which converts it into images to be sent to the brain.
