Corneal pannus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/343081868

This refers to an abnormal layer of fibrovascular tissue or granulation tissue of the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. The cornea, with the anterior chamber and lens, refracts light, with the cornea accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power.
