Unequal refractive power in the two eyes.
A condition that occurs when each of a person's eyes have a different refractive power.
A difference in refractive power between the two eyes (ie. one is nearsighted while the other is farsighted).
difference in the refractive power of the two eyes
A person who is anisometropic has different prescriptions for each eye.
A condition of unequal refractive state for the two eyes.
each eye has different spectacle correction
A common condition where the two eyes posses different refractive powers. This can be easily fixed with two different strength prescriptions in glasses, contacts or lasik eye surgery.
Unequal refractive errors in the two eyes; usually at least 1 diopter different.
A condition in which the eyes have unequal refractive power.
Greek meaning "not the same correction," anisometropia is when there is a significant difference in correction between the two eyes. This may cause eye strain and double vision ( diplopia). Go to Top
a difference in refractive error between the two eyes ( e.g..,one eye may be farsighted and one nearsighted , one eye may be relatively normal and the other very nearsighted).
Condition where the eyes have a significantly different refractive power from each other, so the prescription required for good vision will be different for each eye.
A difference in refractive power of the two eyes in which the variance is at least one diopter.
inequality of considerable degree in the refractive power of the two eyes, i.e. one eye is nearsighted and the other is farsighted).
A condition of the eyes in which they have unequal refractive power.
difference in the refractive error of the eyes, eg. one eye is nearsighted and the other farsighted.
Refractive error in the two eyes of a pair differ.
unequal refractive power of the eyes.
Anisometropia is the condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power; that is, are in different states of myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness), the unequal refractive states cause unequal rotations thus leading to diplopia and asthenopia.
