Re: FR>EN: Ophthal - cornée brillante/trouble

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Marla.

When describing the cornea, " brillante " and " trouble " would correspond

to what in English? The cornea is described as " brillante et

transparente " or " trouble " . Thank you.

" brillante " : I guess the author he or she wants to say that the cornea

reflects some light. For example, on a close-up picture of the eye, you can

see the reflection of the flash light on the corneal surface.

So the cornea is shiny and clear, or dull.

François,

Thank you for your suggestions. I don't think " dull " works for

" trouble " because in the same table, there is " glauque, " which I have

translated as " dull. " It seems " trouble " would appear worse than

" glauque. "
