Cornea The transparent covering over the iris and the pupil. It regenerates quickly after
injury. Its purpose is to protect the lens, the anterior chamber, the iris, and other
structures. It refracts light and assists in focusing. The cornea also filters ultraviolet
radiation

tape is too high
Corneal ulcer Lesion on the cornea left after an infection of or injury to the corneal epithelium

inert (non-reactive) polymer. This type of strong, quick-drying adhesive is used in
many industries, from "liquid stitches" which close skin wounds without sewing, to
industrial uses such as automotive manufacturing. There are many types of
cyanoacrylate polymers and monomers. Only use medical-grade, biocompatible
cyanoacrylate adhesive for eyelash extensions because it is the only type designed
for use on the human body.
