Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The human eye enables us to see this wonderful and colourful world. The image formed by the retina of the eyes is real and inverted, which is then sent to the brain with the help of optic nerves and then finally, we can see the objects around us; the greatest degree of refraction occurs in the cornea of the eyes because of the difference in the refractive index of the air and the aqueous humour which is filled inside the cornea of the eyes.
The correct statement would be that the greatest degree of light refraction occurs in the eyes' cornea.
