The cornea is the transparent portion of the outer surface of the eye, through the cornea enters the light. Keratitis (collective noun for a number of diseases in wich the cornea becomes inflamed) has multiple causes, and there are several forms of keratitis, like photokeratis. That is a (painful) eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the UV rays. There are also some other forms of keratitis, wich you can find on the internet, books, etc.
The clear part of the eye is called the cornea. It is the front section of the eye that is a covering for eye parts like the iris and anterior chamber.
The sclera is double the thickness of the cornea. The center of the cornea is thinnest, followed by the periphery, then sclera.
Sclera
The Sclera of the eye is the outermost layer which gives the white colour to the white part of the eye. Posteriorly it is continuous with the outer surrounding of the optic nerve called the Dural Sheeth. At the front the sclera is a a bulbous, clear section called the Cornea. This is the anteriormost part of the eye and thus of the sclera.Could possibly be allergy related. T. Stevens-Shook, FNPIm sure that it is the CorneacorneaCorneathe cornea

I believe it is a sty. A sty is an acute infection or inflammation of the secretory glands of the eyelids. It sometimes causes, because you get dirt in your eye. I don't think it would be a sty. More than likely it is a cornea ulcer. You should see your local optomatrist.
