HPO HP:0000605 Supranuclear gaze palsy "A supranuclear gaze palsy is an inability to look in a particular direction as a result of cerebral impairment. There is a loss of the voluntary aspect of eye movements, but, as the brainstem is still intact, all the reflex conjugate eye movements are normal." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000549
HPO HP:0000606 Abnormality of the periorbital region "An abnormality of the region situated around the orbit of the eye." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000271
HPO HP:0000607 Periorbital wrinkles HP:0000606, HP:0100678
HPO HP:0000608 Macular degeneration "A nonspecific term denoting degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium and/or retinal photoreceptor cells of the macula lutea." [HPO:probinson, ORCID:0000-0003-0986-4123] HP:0000546, HP:0001103
HPO HP:0000609 Optic nerve hypoplasia "Underdevelopment of the optic nerve." [HPO:probinson] HP:0002977, HP:0008058
HPO HP:0000610 Abnormal choroid morphology "Any structural abnormality of the choroid." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000553, HP:0001098
HPO HP:0000611 obsolete Choroid coloboma
HPO HP:0000612 Iris coloboma "A coloboma of the iris." [HPO:probinson, PMID:19369671] HP:0000525, HP:0000589
HPO HP:0000613 Photophobia "Excessive sensitivity to light with the sensation of discomfort or pain in the eyes due to exposure to bright light." [HPO:probinson] Note that the term photodysphoria is used to describe extreme photophobia. HP:0000504, HP:0000708
HPO HP:0000614 Abnormal nasolacrimal system morphology "An abnormality of the nasolacrimal drainage system, which serves as a conduit for tear flow from the external eye to the nasal cavity." [DDD:ncarter] The nasolacrimal system consists of the puncta, canaliculi, lacrimal sac, and nasolacrimal duct. HP:0030669
HPO HP:0000615 Abnormal pupil morphology "An abnormality of the pupil." [HPO:probinson] HP:0000525
HPO HP:0000616 Miosis "Abnormal (non-physiological) constriction of the pupil." [HPO:probinson] HP:0007686
HPO HP:0000617 Abnormality of ocular smooth pursuit "An abnormality of eye movement characterized by impaired smooth-pursuit eye movements." [HPO:probinson] Tracking eye movements consist of two different components, namely, smooth pursuit and saccades. Smooth pursuit, or just pursuit, is a class of rather slow eye movements that minimizes retinal target motion. Saccades are rapid eye movements that align the fovea with the target. Slow-pursuit eye movements are involved in tracking a slowly moving target after the saccadic system has placed the image of the target on the fovea. HP:0000496
HPO HP:0000618 Blindness "Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception defined as visual perception below 3/60 and/or a visual field of no greater than 10 degrees in radius around central fixation." [DDD:gblack, PMID:28779882] Various scales have been developed to describe the extent of vision loss and define blindness. Total blindness is the complete lack of form and visual light perception and is clinically recorded as NLP (no light perception). Blindness is frequently used to describe severe visual impairment with residual vision. Those described as having only light perception have no more sight than the ability to tell light from dark and the general direction of a light source. HP:0007663
HPO HP:0000619 Impaired convergence "Reduced ability to turn the eyes inward in order to focus on a nearby object." [HPO:probinson] Vergence alters the angle between the two eyes to adjust for changes in distance from the visual target. HP:0000549
HPO HP:0000620 Dacryocystitis "Inflammation of the nasolacrimal sac." [HPO:probinson] Dacrocystitis is frequently caused by nasolacrimal duct obstruction or infection, which often results from stagnation of tears in a pathologically closed lacrimal drainage system. Note also that dacryocystistis has often been misspelled as dacrocystitis in the literature, but the correct spelling is dacryocystitis. HP:0000614
HPO HP:0000621 Entropion "An abnormal inversion (turning inward) of the eyelid (usually the lower) towards the globe. Entropion is usually acquired as a result of involutional or cicatricial processes but may occasionally be congenital." [ORCID:0000-0003-0986-4123, PMID:19125427] The inward turned eyelid margin increases the potential for mechanical irritation of the eye by eyelashes. Entropion is to be distinguished from epiblepharon. HP:0000492
HPO HP:0000622 Blurred vision "Lack of sharpness of vision resulting in the inability to see fine detail." [HPO:probinson] This is a very nonspecific term and it is preferable to describe the correlates of blurred vision with the corresponding terms if possible. HP:0000504
HPO HP:0000623 Supranuclear ophthalmoplegia "A vertical gaze palsy with inability to direct the gaze of the eyes downwards." [HPO:probinson, PMID:20629667] HP:0000602
HPO HP:0000625 Eyelid coloboma "A short discontinuity of the margin of the lower or upper eyelid." [PMID:19125427] The lateral segment of the lower eyelid is most commonly involved. As the milder forms of this finding are clearly subjective and no boundary of subjective and objective is defined, the term is considered subjective. The term eyelid coloboma has been replaced because the word coloboma should be used only for defects at the site of fusion of embryologic structures, which is not the case here. Modifiers to designate the location of the cleft may be added, such as lower and lateral. HP:0011226
HPO HP:0000627 Posterior embryotoxon "A posterior embryotoxon is the presence of a prominent and anteriorly displaced line of Schwalbe." [HPO:probinson] Schwalbe's line is the anatomical line found on the interior surface of the cornea, and delineates the outer limit of the corneal endothelium layer. Specifically, it represents the termination of Descemet's membrane. Up to 30% of the population has posterior embryotoxon as an isolated normal variant. HP:0008048
