The cells of the cornea, in the eye.
The only living cells in the body that aren't directly served by blood vessels are those of the cornea in the eye. Oxygen and nutrients instead diffuse directly from the tear fluid on the outside and the aqueous humour (the thick watery substance between the lens and the cornea) on the inside, as well as along the nerve fibres that are connected to the cornea.
