What part of the eye is a clear protective outer layer that bends light to help provide focus?
A
Cornea
B
Lens
C
Pupil
D
Iris
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cornea: the transparent circular part of the front of the eyeball. It refracts the light entering the eye onto the lens, which then focuses it onto the retina. The cornea contains no blood vessels and is extremely sensitive to pain. Lens: a transparent structure situated behind your pupil.

Detailed explanation-2: -First, light passes through the cornea (the clear front layer of the eye). The cornea is shaped like a dome and bends light to help the eye focus. Some of this light enters the eye through an opening called the pupil (PYOO-pul). The iris (the colored part of the eye) controls how much light the pupil lets in.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sclera is the tough outer layer of the eyeball (the white of the eye). The slight bulge in the sclera at the front of the eye is a clear, thin, dome-shaped tissue called the cornea. The cornea directs light rays into the eye and helps focus them on the retina.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina).
