| corneal | The cornea is an outwardly convex transparent membrane forming part of the anterior (front) portion of the eye. It is situated directly in front of the pupil an merges back to the sclera (white of the eye) and the outer margin of the iris. (27 Sep 1997) |

| corneal dystrophies, hereditary | Bilateral hereditary disorders of the cornea, usually autosomal dominant, which may be present at birth but more frequently develop during adolescence and progress slowly throughout life. Central macular dystrophy is transmitted as an autosomal recessive defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
