  2. White dot syndromes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dot_syndromes

    Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome occurs mostly in females. Symptoms include a sudden loss of central vision, but patients eventually regain normal vision. The white dots are small and located in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. The white dots may disappear after the first few weeks of the disease.

  3. Corneal limbus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_limbus

    The corneal limbus is the border between the cornea and the sclera. [1] It is highly vascularised. [1] Its stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with the epithelium covering the cornea. [2] The corneal limbus contains radially-oriented fibrovascular ridges known as the palisades of Vogt that contain limbal stem cells.

  4. Meesmann corneal dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meesmann_corneal_dystrophy

    Meesmann corneal dystrophy is a non-inflammatory condition that effects the restricted region of the cornea epithelium which is the outermost layer. [2] Onset of symptoms begin during infancy or early childhood but may not become noticeable or problematic for many years.

  5. Fundus photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundus_photography

    These two images are later used together to create a 3D image. In this way the image can be analysed giving better information about surface characteristics of the retina. [19] Fundus photography in animals: Fundus photography is a useful tool utilised for veterinary research, veterinary ophthalmology, as well as education. [20]

  6. Uveitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uveitis

    Uveitis (/ ˌ juː v i. aɪ t ɪ s /) is inflammation of the uvea, the pigmented layer of the eye between the inner retina and the outer fibrous layer composed of the sclera and cornea. [1] The uvea consists of the middle layer of pigmented vascular structures of the eye and includes the iris , ciliary body , and choroid .

  7. Pinguecula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinguecula

    It is seen as a yellow-white deposit on the conjunctiva adjacent to the limbus (the junction between the cornea and sclera). [3] (It is to be distinguished clinically from a pterygium, which is a wedge shaped area of fibrosis that may grow onto the cornea.) A pinguecula usually does not cause any symptoms.

  8. Anterior segment of eyeball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_segment_of_eyeball

    The anterior segment or anterior cavity [1] is the front third of the eye that includes the structures in front of the vitreous humour: the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. [2] [3] Within the anterior segment are two fluid-filled spaces: the anterior chamber between the posterior surface of the cornea (i.e. the corneal endothelium) and the ...

  9. Corneal topography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_topography

    The curvature of the cornea could be determined from comparison of photographs of the rings against standardized images. In the 1980s, photographs of the projected images became hand-digitized and then analysed by computer. Automation of the process soon followed with the image captured by a digital camera and passed directly to a computer. [5]
