What is "keratoglobus"

n. (context pathology English) A disorder of the eye in which the cornea is enlarged and globular in shape

Keratoglobus (from Greek: kerato- horn, cornea; and Latin: globus round), is a degenerative non- inflammatory disorder of the eye in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to become extremely thin and change to a more globular shape than its normal gradual curve. It causes corneal thinning, primarily at the margins, resulting in a spherical, slightly enlarged eye.

It is sometimes equated with "megalocornea".
