No, the cornea does not have capillaries. It is avascular, meaning it lacks blood vessels, which helps maintain its transparency essential for vision. Instead, the cornea receives nutrients and oxygen through the tear film and the aqueous humor. This unique structure is crucial for its function in focusing light onto the retina.

What does the capillaries the in eye do?
Capillaries in the eye play a crucial role in supplying oxygen and nutrients to the avascular tissues, such as the lens and cornea, which do not have their own blood supply. They also help remove waste products from the eye's interior. Additionally, the capillary network in the retina is essential for maintaining the health of photoreceptor cells, facilitating proper vision by supporting the metabolic needs of the retinal tissue.
