Name two parts of the eye which refract light rays (or bend light rays).


The two parts of the eye which refract light rays (or bend light rays) are the cornea and the lens. 


Explanation

Cornea is the front part of the eye-bulging outwards, which is made of a transparent substance, and the outer surface of the cornea is convex in shape. Because of this shape, when the light rays coming from an object enter the eye through the cornea, it just bends or refracts.

Lens or the eye-lens is a convex lens made of transparent, soft, and elastic tissues like a jelly made of proteins, that control the formation of an image on the retina. It is connected with the ciliary muscles that accommodate the eye lens, which means, it changes the shape of the lens to focus the light rays coming from near or distant objects on the retina.
