Eye disease

This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders.

The World Health Organization publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries called the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.

Disorders of sclera, cornea,Iris anatomy iris and ciliary body

Scleritis — a painful inflammation of the sclera
Keratitis — inflammation of the cornea
Corneal ulcer, Corneal abrasion — loss of the surface epithelial layer of the cornea
Snow blindness / Arc eye — a painful condition caused by exposure of unprotected eyes to bright light
Thygeson's superficial punctate keratopathy
Corneal neovascularization
Fuchs' dystrophy — cloudy morning vision
Keratoconus — the cornea thins and changes shape to be more like a cone than a parabola
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca — dry eyes
Iritis — inflammation of the iris
Uveitis— inflammatory process involving the interior of the eye

H25-H28 Disorders of lens

(H25-H26) Cataract — the lens becomes opaque

H30-H36 Disorders of choroid and retina

(H33) Retinal detachment — the retina detaches from the choroid, leading to blurred and distorted vision
(H33.1) Retinoschisis — the retina separates into several layers and may detach
(H35.0) Hypertensive retinopathy — burst blood vessels, due to long-term high blood pressure

(H35.0/E10-E14) Diabetic retinopathy damage to the retina caused by complications of diabetes mellitus, which could eventually lead to blindness
