These are congenital disorders of the corneal anatomy:
Microcornea – corneal diameter less than 10 mm
Cornea of the plan – the cornea is curved at the same radius as the sclera
Megalocornea – corneal diameter greater than 12 mm in a newborn
Keratoglobus – cornea large, thinned, mostly on the middle periphery, and more prominent in its central part
Sclerocornea – periphery or the entire cornea has the structure of the sclera
Megalocornea should be distinguished from buphtalmus – increase and distortion of the eyeball due to congenital glaucoma.
