| VFD | Visual Field Defect |
| AREDYLD | acrorenal field defect, ectodermal dysplasia, lipoatrophic diabetes [syndrome] |
| B0 | constant magnetic field in nuclear magnetic resonance |
| eye diseases, hereditary | Transmission of gene defects or chromosomal aberrations/abnormalities which are expressed in extreme variation in the structure or function of the eye. These may be evident at birth, but may be manifested later with progression of the disorder. (12 Dec 1998) |

| eye drops | See: eyewash, ophthalmic solutions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eye-ear plane | A standard craniometric reference plane passing through the right and left porion and the left orbitale; drawn on the profile radiograph or photograph from the superior margin of the acoustic meatus to the orbitale. Synonym: auriculo-infraorbital plane, eye-ear plane, Frankfort horizontal plane, Frankfort plane, infraorbitomeatal plane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eye enucleation | The surgical removal of the eyeball leaving the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye evisceration | The surgical removal of the inner contents of the eye, leaving the sclera intact. It should be differentiated from orbit evisceration which removes the entire contents of the orbit, including eyeball, blood vessels, muscles, fat, nerve supply, and periosteum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye floaters | One or more spots that appear to drift in front of the eye, caused by a shadow cast on the retina by vitreous debris or separation of the vitreous humour from the retina. (27 Sep 1997) |
| eye haemorrhage | Intraocular haemorrhage from the vessels of various tissues of the eye, e.g., choroidal haemorrhage and retinal haemorrhage. It is to be differentiated from retrobulbar haemorrhage which refers to haemorrhage within the orbital cavity behind the eye. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections | Infection, moderate to severe, caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses, which occurs either on the external surface of the eye or intraocularly with probable inflammation, visual impairment, or blindness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections, bacterial | Infections in the inner or external eye caused by microorganisms belonging to several families of bacteria. Some of the more common genera found are haemophilus, neisseria, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and chlamydia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections, fungal | Infection by a variety of fungi, usually through four possible mechanisms: superficial infection producing conjunctivitis, keratitis, or lacrimal obstruction; extension of infection from neighboring structures - skin, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx; direct introduction during surgery or accidental penetrating trauma; or via the blood or lymphatic routes in patients with underlying mycoses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections, parasitic | Mild to severe infections of the eye and its adjacent structures (adnexa) by adult or larval protozoan or metazoan parasites. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye infections, viral | Infections of the eye caused by minute intracellular agents. These infections may lead to severe inflammation in various parts of the eye - conjunctiva, iris, eyelids, etc. Several viruses have been identified as the causative agents. Among these are herpes virus, adenovirus, poxvirus, and myxovirus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye injuries | Damage or trauma inflicted to the eye by external means. The concept includes both surface injuries and intraocular injuries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye injuries, penetrating | Deeply perforating or puncturing type intraocular injuries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| eye lens | <physics> The lens nearest the eye in any ocular. (05 Aug 1998) |
