Cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped tissue covering the front of the eye. It is important in transmitting light to the inside of the eye. Cornea is also a powerful refracting surface and provides about 2/3rd of the eye's focusing power. Diseases of the cornea due to injury or infection lead to loss of its transparency, thus reducing the vision. In Ethiopia, trachoma is an important cause of corneal opacity which results in loss of vision
