corneal decomposition

[littlemoor]

Добрый день, уважаемые форумчане! Подскажите, пожалуйста, " corneal decomposition" можно перевести как "расщепление роговицы"?

Вот контекст: S IDA -HPMC 2% is tolerated extremely well after injection into human eyes. A transient rise of intraocular pressure post operatively has been reported in some instances. HPMC can cause transient blurring of vision, ocular discomfort or irritation, matting or stickiness of eye lashes, photophobia, hypersensitivity or edema of the eye lids. Isolated incidences of post-operative inflammatory reactions (iritis, hypopyon) as well as corneal edema and corneal decomposition have been reported with viscoelastic agents, although their causal relationship with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose has not been established.

изменение структуры роговицы?

[Erdferkel]

еще есть отслоение роговицы

[Ruppert]

Полностью поддерживаю изменение структуры роговицы.

Хочу добавить: изменение в строении слоев роговицы (расслоение роговицы возможно вследствие кератита).

Я думаю отслоение роговицы не существует. Отслаивается (десквамируется) один из слоев роговицы или вся сетчатка (от сосудистой оболочки глаза).

в гуголе есть в мед.статьях...

спрошу сегодня у русскоязычного офтальмолога

[Erdferkel]

офтальмолог подтвердила, что отслоения роговицы не существует и предложила деструкцию роговицы (показав мне при этом "Атлас глазных болезней" с цветными фотографиями - чур меня!)

'to decompose' is just the technical (medical/biological) term for 'to rot'/'to decay' -- as plants do after they've died, and how the flesh on humans and other animals does after they've died.

Example: Stages of decomposition of a pig carcass:

Could it perhaps be a mistake for 'corneal decompensation'?

I'm not an ophthalmologist but, presumably, corneal decomposition can only take place after a cornea has died -- whereas corneal decompensation seems to be a recognised term and can take place while the cornea (and its owner!) are still alive. Also, 'corneal decompensation' is in the MT dictionary.
