Catalan term or phrase: desfeta
'desfeta' in Catalan is an inflammation of the eye known in English as 'keratitis'. But I need to know the folk term for this disease. I have fruitlessly seached the net but have come up dry.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The Alcover-Moll dictionary says: 5. Queratitis, inflamació de la còrnia de l'ull (or., occ., val., mall., eiv.). Si lo falcó o lo oçell té blancor o desfeta o tel en l'ull, Anim. de caçar 48 vo. Coses que caen en l'uyl... que són occasions per què's fan les desfeytes e la blancura en l'uyl, Alcoatí 35. Hi ha gent que diu desfeta, en singular, i altres diuen desfetes, en plural.
