Definition
A person whose eyes have refractive error; someone with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism that requires correction.
Etymology
From Greek 'a-' (not) + 'metron' (measure, proper) + '-ope' (eye). The term emerged in optometry and ophthalmology to classify people with non-perfect vision.
Kelly Says
Technically, if you wear glasses or contacts, you're an ametrope—which sounds clinical and unfortunate, but really it just means your eyeballs bent light slightly wrong, affecting about 2 billion people on Earth, making 'normal' vision kind of the unusual one.
