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.

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.

: Trephine - (truh-FEEN) A surgical tool with serrated edges, used to cut circular pieces. It’s used in a LASEK procedure instead of a microkeratome to cut the corneal flap.
