Aphacial

/əˈfeɪʃəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by aphacia; of or pertaining to the condition of lacking a lens in the eye.

Etymology

Derived from 'aphacia' with the adjectival suffix '-al' (meaning relating to or characterized by). This follows standard medical terminology formation.

Kelly Says

Medical adjectives ending in '-al' help doctors be precise—'aphacial eyes' tells you exactly which condition is present, much more specifically than simply saying 'eye problems.'
