cornea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'organ part' is the definition.
'cornea' can be an answer for 'part' (cornea is a kind of part). I am not certain of the 'organ' bit.

'not primarily observed in heart area' is the wordplay.
'primarily' indicates taking the first letters.
'observed in' indicates putting letters inside.
'heart' becomes 'core' (synonyms).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
The initial letter of 'not' is 'n'.
'n' placed within 'core' is 'corne'.
'corne'+'a'='CORNEA'

Can you help me to learn more?
