Dry Eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep the eye wet and comfortable. Common symptoms of dry eye include feelings of stinging, burning, or scratchiness of the eyes.

Endothelium is the inner layer of cells on the inside surface of the cornea.

retina - The light sensitive nerve layer which converts light images into electrical signals for transmission to the brain. The retina can be compared to the film of a camera. See Peter's diagram.

undercorrection - A complication of PRK where the expected amount of correction is less than desired. See glossary entry "regression". Undercorrection occurs in the occasional person where healing occurs more vigorously than predicted by the laser computer program. Undercorrection can also occur in the uncommon event that the laser is improperly calibrated.

Dr. William Boothe: Corneal Abrasion - A scrape or scratch on the cornea, the front surface of the eye.
Corneal Ectasia - A complication of LASIK similar to the inherited condition of keratoconus. It can happen when the eye was over-treated by a LASIK procedure, so that not enough thickness is left in the cornea to contain the eye's internal pressure. That pressure pushes against the cornea and causes it to bulge outward. Vision then becomes progressively worse.

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.

Visual Field - The complete area that’s visible when the eyes are looking straight ahead.

Vitreous Detachment - (VIT-ree-us) Separation of vitreous humor from the retina. If the gel pulls on the retinal surface, it can sometimes cause it to tear, which could lead to retinal detachment. Vitreous detachment occurs more often in older people and those with certain diseases such as diabetes.

Mascara and the creation of beautiful lashes: Mascara frames your eyes and can make your face come alive. Mascara softly accentuates the eye while thickening and darkening the lashes; it is the finishing touch for eyes. There are several different types to choose from, thickening, and waterproof to smudge proof.
Waterproof will need a special remover and smudge proof will wash off easily. It is not a good idea to wear waterproof mascara for extended periods of time since it has a tendency to dry the lashes. Select a shade of mascara that complements your coloring. Dark shades on pale eyes with brown lashes will darken them and will look harsh. Stay away from blues and other colors since they will ruin your look.
