Refractive Errors are hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.

Retina is the part of the eye that lines the inside wall of the eye and consists of fine sensory tissue which acts as the film in a camera that captures and transmits images.

Sclera is the tough, white, outer layer (coat) of the eyeball and, with the cornea, protects the entire eyeball.

LASIK EYE - DR BOOTHE

Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy - The most common corneal dystrophy. An eye condition where the membrane that lies beneath the epithelial cells (surface cells) of the cornea is uneven and traps cells below it which should normally rise above it. It impairs vision, is usually hereditary, and fluctuates in severity over the person's lifetime. It's also called Map-Dot-Fingerprint Dystrophy (a name based on how it looks microscopically), and Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy.

Anterior Chamber - The small space behind the cornea and in front of the iris, filled with the Aqueous Humor.

Stroma - The central layer of cells in the cornea, thicker than the other layers. A LASIK or similar procedure targets this layer in correcting the shape of the cornea to improve vision.

Stromal Dystrophies - A group of hereditary dystrophies affecting the stroma, the middle layer of the cornea (where LASIK surgery is done). There are three main ones: Macular Dystrophy, Granular Dystrophy, and Lattice Dystrophy.

Laser Thermal Keratoplasty (LTK) - (KER-uh-tuh-PLAS-tee) LTK is a refractive surgery treatment for mild farsightedness. A Holmium laser is used to gently and precisely heat a circular area around the edge of the cornea, so that this edge shrinks a little. The result is a steepening of the cornea, which in farsightedness is too flat. It’s also used to treat presbyopia.

kerato - A prefix indicating relationship to the cornea or window of the eye. Kerato also can indicate a relationship to horny tissue.
