Abstract

Article (226) high court & article (32) supreme court Indian penal code-applicable to all specialties. International court of justice only deals with land disputes. So, this presentation is needed to arrest further spread to younger generation.AIOS is second largest society in the world registered under society Act in the constitution of India. Are we justified in learning and also teaching knowingly non-precise incorrect medical terms to younger generation without even mentioning misnomers and in turn making them habituated? Under article 226 (high court) & 32 (Supreme Court) in the Constitution of India-Grievance. Our solution is to change or to teach misnomer along with the word. For the past 10 years, the same concept was being projected to the world as ‘Questionable medical terms in Ophthalmology’. As some of our AIOS governing council (2013-14) defended as lack of law and not authorized to opine on, retired judge was being consulted and the title is changed with law details as ‘Grievance in literature ophthalmology-our solutions’.Retrospective study of ophthalmic literature shows for the last more than hundred years, incorrect medical terms like ‘retinoscopy’, ‘syringing’, ‘retinal detachment’, ‘intracapsular cataract’ have been in existence. Phaco emulsification came approximately 28 years ago, 10 years ago small incision cataract surgery and 5 years ago computer vision syndrome. These less precise terms are being added to the medical literature during our own generation. No attempt has been made in the past even with appeal to restore precision and greater accuracy to the terminology in current use.
