GlossaryCorneal Epithelium

outermost cell layer of the eye's clear front surface

The corneal epithelium is the outermost layer of the cornea, which is the clear, dome-shaped surface that covers the front of the eye. This thin, protective layer of cells helps to shield the eye from dust, debris, and bacteria, while also playing a crucial role in maintaining clear vision by providing a smooth surface for light to enter the eye.
