Anisokonia

/ˌænɪsoʊˈkoʊniə/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of anisoiconia; an eye condition where the two eyes perceive images of different sizes.

Etymology

From Greek 'anisos' (unequal) + 'konia' (dust/image particles). This alternative medical spelling is less common but refers to the same visual condition.

Kelly Says

Whether spelled anisokonia or anisoiconia, this condition shows how your brain's visual system is like a stereo system—if the channels are mismatched in volume (or in this case, image size), the whole system sounds wrong!
