Relating to or affected by anisometropia, where one eye has a significantly different refractive power than the other.
Adjectival form of 'anisometropia,' derived from Greek 'anisos' (unequal) + 'metrikos' (relating to measure). Used in optometry since the mid-1800s.
An anisometropic person might need glasses with very different prescriptions in each lens—one side might be much stronger than the other, which is actually harder to correct than regular nearsightedness.
