What:

"In very simple terms, the front of the eye is called the cornea, and this consists of a number of layers including the stroma, and endothelial layer. The stroma is like a sponge that can adsorb water, and to prevent too much water building up, the endothelial cells pump the excess water away to maintain the eye's normal function. "
