What does ANOPIA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A defect of vision in which part of the field of sight, or an entire eye, fails to develop or function.
Anopia is used by eye specialists to describe a structural gap in vision rather than ordinary short or long sight. It can affect one eye completely or only part of the visual field, depending on which structures failed to form or were damaged. Doctors distinguish anopia from milder refractive problems because glasses cannot correct a missing or non-functioning part of the eye. The word appears mainly in clinical notes and ophthalmology textbooks rather than in everyday descriptions of poor eyesight.
How ANOPIA is used
A clinical term used in ophthalmology; not a casual word for poor eyesight.
- The exam revealed anopia in the outer part of his left visual field.
- Congenital anopia meant the child had never had sight in that eye.
- The specialist explained that anopia differs from simple short-sightedness.
- Her chart listed partial anopia following the accident.
- Anopia can result from injury, disease or a defect present from birth.
