About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Cornea disorders. The term 'prevalence' of Cornea disorders usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Cornea disorders at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Cornea disorders refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Cornea disorders diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
