NO BLOOD SUPPLY TO THE CORNEA

The only part of the human body that has no blood supply is the cornea in the eye. It takes in oxygen directly from the air. Is it to protect the sensitive organs behind it from exposure to extreme temperatures, excessive light etc if so why not make a study of the structure and composition of the tissues of this organ and try to produce it artificially?
