Ametropic

/ˌæməˈtrɑːpɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or affected by ametropia; having a refractive error that requires vision correction.

Etymology

From 'ametropia' + '-ic' (adjective suffix). This term parallels medical terminology patterns in describing conditions affecting the eye.

Kelly Says

An 'ametropic eye' might sound defective, but it's just statistically normal—most humans aren't born with perfect vision, which is why glasses have been one of humanity's most important inventions, right up there with the wheel.
