Difference between Cornea and Eye disease

Cornea vs. Eye disease

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders.

Similarities between Cornea and Eye disease

Cornea and Eye disease have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Corneal abrasion, Corneal dystrophy, Corneal neovascularization, Corneal ulcer, Epithelium, Eye disease, Fuchs' dystrophy, Human eye, Iris (anatomy), Keratitis, Keratoconus, Lens (anatomy), Pupil, Retina, Sclera.

Corneal abrasion

Corneal abrasion is a scratch to the surface of the cornea of the eye.

Corneal dystrophy

Corneal dystrophy is a group of rare hereditary disorders characterised by bilateral abnormal deposition of substances in the transparent front part of the eye called the cornea.

Corneal neovascularization

Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is the in-growth of new blood vessels from the pericorneal plexus into avascular corneal tissue as a result of oxygen deprivation.

Corneal ulcer

Corneal ulcer, or ulcerative keratitis, is an inflammatory or more seriously, infective condition of the cornea involving disruption of its epithelial layer with involvement of the corneal stroma.

Epithelium

Epithelium is one of the four basic types of animal tissue, along with connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue.

Fuchs' dystrophy

Fuchs' dystrophy, also referred to as Fuchs' corneal endothelial dystrophy (FCED) and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (FED), is a slowly progressing corneal dystrophy that usually affects both eyes and is slightly more common in women than in men.

Human eye

The human eye is an organ which reacts to light and pressure.

Iris (anatomy)

In humans and most mammals and birds, the iris (plural: irides or irises) is a thin, circular structure in the eye, responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina.

Keratitis

Keratitis is a condition in which the eye's cornea, the clear dome on the front surface of the eye, becomes inflamed.

Keratoconus

Keratoconus (KC) is a disorder of the eye which results in progressive thinning of the cornea.

Lens (anatomy)

The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.

Pupil

The pupil is a hole located in the center of the iris of the eye that allows light to strike the retina.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Sclera

The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque, fibrous, protective, outer layer of the human eye containing mainly collagen and some elastic fiber.

Cornea and Eye disease Comparison

Cornea has 77 relations, while Eye disease has 142. As they have in common 15, the Jaccard index is 6.85% = 15 / (77 + 142).
