Megalocornea is a medical condition where the cornea, the transparent layer that covers the front of the eye, is larger than the normal size. There are several synonyms or alternative terms used to describe this condition, which are included in the medical terminology. Some of the commonly used synonyms for megalocornea include cornea plana, macrocornea, keratomalacia, and keratoglobus. Each of these terms describes a specific variation of megalocornea, but they all refer to the enlargement of the cornea that results in visual impairment. While there is no known cure for megalocornea, early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications and preserve vision.
