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.
