In the eye, the cornea is entry point for light. In simple terms, the cornea is the transparent tissue at the front of the eye that functions as the window through which all light has to pass through on its way to forming visual perception. The reception of a clear image is dependent on the integrity of the corneal surface. However, with age, the lens is subject to cataracts and presbyopia in addition to other damage. This damage to the surface of the eye effects how people see and could potentially slow their reaction time to what they are seeing.

Informed Consent Working in a public school system, one has to adhere to different guidelines when obtaining informed consent. First and foremost, one is obtaining parental or guardian consent rather than from the individual. A student has to be eligible for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act before a referral for a physical therapy evaluation can be considered.
