This study explores the challenges in the representation and translation of medical eponyms in English-Uzbek bilingual dictionaries. Eponyms, which originate from proper names, often lack transparent meaning and are inconsistently translated or entirely omitted in bilingual lexicographic resources. Using qualitative content analysis, a corpus of 100 medical eponyms was examined across five English-Uzbek dictionaries and relevant digital platforms. Findings reveal a significant gap in explanatory entries, with many eponyms missing or presented without semantic clarification. This leads to misunderstanding among Uzbek-speaking users, especially students and doctors. The study recommends that bilingual medical dictionaries adopt more user-oriented strategies, including descriptive translations and contextual information. These improvements would enhance both the pedagogical and professional value of such resources. The paper concludes by calling for standardized terminology practices and further user-based research to ensure more accurate and accessible bilingual medical lexicography. Further research requires testing users of medical dictionaries with eponyms.
