Eye Glossary

Eyecare is confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. At CorneaCare, we distill complex medical literature into readable and relatable language. Use our eye glossary to learn about everything related to eyes, including anatomy, function, disease, treatment, procedures and surgeries. Knowledge is power!
