Synonym(s): anisometropia. [hetero- + G. metron, measure, + ōps, eye]anisometropia The condition in which the refraction (focus) is different in the two eyes. One eye may be normal and the other MYOPIC or HYPERMETROPIC, or one eye may be ASTIGMATIC. From the Greek an , not iso , equal and metron , a measure.AnisometropiaAn eye condition in which there is an inequality of vision between the two eyes. There may be unequal amounts of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, so that one eye will be in focus while the other will not.Mentioned in: Amblyopiaanisometropia Condition in which the refractive state of a pair of eyes differs and therefore one eye requires a different lens correction from the other. Correction may induce aniseikonia and when the eyes deviate from the optical axes of the lenses, anisophoria. Uncorrected anisometropia of low amounts may cause eyestrain or diplopia. Large amounts rarely cause symptoms as one of the retinal images is typically suppressed or there is amblyopia. Syn. asymmetropia; heterometropia; heteropsia. See aniso-accommodation; antimetropia; differential prismatic effect; isometropia.

compound myopic anisometropia See anisomyopia.
mixed anisometropia See antimetropia.
simple anisometropia Anisometropia in which one eye is emmetropic and the other either hypermetropic (simple hypermetropic anisometropia) or myopic (simple myopic anisometropia).
