| CDGG | corneal dystrophy Groenouw type, granular |
| corneal dystrophy | Central corneal opacification, usually bilateral, symmetrical, and often autosomal recessive, involving predominantly epithelial, stromal, or endothelial layers, often in a typical pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| corneal ectasia | A bulging forward of the cornea. Synonym: corneal ectasia, keratectasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal endothelial polymorphism | A greater than normal variation in the shape of the cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal facet | A corneal depression following loss of stroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal graft | corneal transplant |
| corneal layer of epidermis | The outer layer of the epidermis, consisting of several layers of flat keratinised non-nucleated cells. Synonym: corneal layer of epidermis, horny layer of epidermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal lens | Contact lens of plastic without scleral portions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal margin | The margin of the cornea overlapped by the sclera. Synonym: limbus corneae, corneal margin, sclerocorneal junction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal neovascularization | New blood vessels originating from the corneal veins and extending from the limbus into the adjacent corneal stroma. These vessels may lie in the superficial and/or deep corneal stroma. Neovascularization is a sequel to numerous inflammatory diseases of the ocular anterior segment, including trachoma, viral interstitial keratitis, microbial keratoconjunctivitis, and the immune response elicited by corneal transplantation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corneal oedema | An excessive amount of fluid in the cornea due to damage of the epithelium or endothelium causing decreased visual acuity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corneal pannus | Fibrovascular connective tissue that proliferates in the anterior layers of the peripheral cornea in inflammatory corneal disease, particularly trachoma in which the pannus involves the superior cornea. Three forms occur: (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal reflex | A contraction of the eyelids when the cornea is lightly touched with a camel-hair pencil. Synonym: lid reflex. Reflection of light from the surface of the cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal space | One of the stellate space's between the lamellae of the cornea, each of which contains a cell or corneal corpuscle. Synonym: lacuna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal spot | A moderately dense opacity of the cornea. Synonym: corneal spot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal staphyloma | A bulging near the anterior pole of the eyeball. Synonym: corneal staphyloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
