The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye covering the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea refracts light and contribute the most to the focus of the eye.

Answer 2

If I'm not mistaken, the cornea is the colorful ring surrounding the iris? I was told the cornea are the muscles that control dilation of the iris, controlling the amount of light that is allowed to enter the eye.

The reason it is colored is due to genetics. Specific amino acids produce different colors (including people like myself who's color changes, which is affected by additional acids in the food we eat).

The cornea is the clear front surface of the eye that helps to focus light onto the retina. It refracts light as it enters the eye, contributing to about two-thirds of the eye's total focusing power. The cornea also acts as a protective barrier against dust, germs, and other harmful agents.
