Answer 1

1.  ophthalmoplegia .

Ophthalmoplegia is the paralysis or weakness of the eye muscles. It can affect one or more of the six muscles that hold the eye in place and control its movement.

2.  keratitis

Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea — the clear, dome-shaped tissue on the front of your eye that covers the pupil and iris. Keratitis may or may not be associated with an infection.

3.  Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle and fat.

4.Iris

The iris is the colored part of the eye. It is disc shaped with a hole in the middle .Muscles in the iris cause the pupil to constrict in bright light and to dilate in dim light. The change in pupil size regulates the amount of light that reaches the posterior part of the eye.

5.Erythropia

erythropsia
a chromatopsia in which objects appear tinged with red.

6.Lacrimal glands

The tear glands (lacrimal glands), located above each eyeball, continuously supply tear fluid that's wiped across the surface of your eye each time you blink your eyes.

7.keratotome.

.  Beaver scalpel handles (Nos 6400, 6500, and 6700 microsurgical blades and keratome) Incise cornea.

8.Diplopia

Double vision, also called diplopia, causes a person to see two images of a single object. There are two types of double vision: monocular and binocular. Monocular diplopia is double vision in only one eye.

9.Blepharoptosis

Blepharoptosis or ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid that may affect one or both eyes. The eyelid may droop only slightly or may droop enough to cover the pupil and block vision.

10.otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is a term derived from oto, meaning “of the ear,” and sclerosis, meaning “abnormal hardening of body tissue.” The condition is caused by abnormal bone remodeling in the middle ear.

11.Equilibrium

Is a state of physical balance.

12.Tympanitis

Tympanitis is the medical term for an inflamed tympanic membrane, also known as the eardrum. This membrane can become inflamed for a number of reasons, from bacteria to trauma.
