What do we call the transparent, protective layer that light passes through as it enters the eye?

The cornea, it’s the transparent part of the front eyeball. It refracts the light entering the eye onto the lens which focuses it on the retina. It has no blood vessels and it’s extremely sensitive.
Hope this helped
