-
A piece of cloth. This word has several other meanings, many of which are equivocal. It means a tent for a wound, and, also, an irregular naevus or mark on the skin. - Castelli. Modern ophthalmologists apply it to an opake and vascular condition of the anterior membrane of the cornea, almost invariably produced by the continuance of purulent or strumous ophthalmia, or by chronic inflammation of the cornea. This part becomes nebulous, covered with red vessels, and opake. At times, the sclerotic conjunctiva undergoes a similar change to that which occurs in the corneal portion.
By Robley Dunglison
-
[Latin] Literally, a cloth; a membrane consisting of vessels and connective tissue, in varying proportions, which spreads over the cornea in trachoma and phlyctenular conjunctivitis.
