The cornea is a covering over the iris and the pupil of the eye. Something like a coverslip on a microscope slide. It can get cloudy over time usually with age but it can also be damaged with an infection. They are often called cataracts. They can be replaced with artificial ones.

What is the difference between the cornea and iris?
The cornea is the surface of the eye. It is completely transparent, as all light that enters the eye must pass through the cornea. If you look at a person's eye from the side, you will see some clear material covering the front of the eyeball. That is the cornea. The iris is what controls the amount of light let into the eye. It is what gives the eye its colour, and it is what actually controls the size of the pupil.
