What structure of the eye bends light?

Answer 1

I also wanted to add a commonly overlooked piece of anatomy that bends the light. The aqueous humor, which is just the fluid between your cornea & lens in the front of your eye. This fluid is mostly water, & when light rays move from the air to the water they get bent pretty drastically, & we call this refraction. So the main three structures that bend light would be the cornea, the aqueous humor, & the lens.

If you liked my answer & explanation you should sign up for tutoring with me & I can help you understand the complex processes that happen in our bodies & cells.

Answer 2

The cornea is involved first in refraction of light rays that enter into the eye through the pupil. The lens is also involved in refraction of light which then allows the light to form an image on the retina.
