Figure 1 shows parallel light rays from a distant star entering a healthy human eye.

$Figure 1: Diagram showing parallel light rays entering the eye, being refracted by the cornea and lens, and converging at a focal point on the retina.$

Using the diagram, explain how the cornea and the lens work together to focus these light rays, forming a sharp image on the retina.
