Dark of the eye

黑睛 〔黑睛〕hēi jīng

The anterior central part of the eye that is colorless and transparent. The dark of the eye is so called because the dark-colored iris and pupil can be seen through it. The dark of the eye corresponds to the liver; it is equivalent to the wind wheel among the five wheels. If the dark of the eye looses its transparency, vision can be affected.

Biomedical correspondence: cornea.
