Haplopia

/hæˈploʊ.pi.ə/ noun

Definition

A condition of the eye or vision where diplopia (double vision) is corrected so that only one image is seen, or relating to single vision.

Etymology

Kelly Says

While diplopia means seeing double, haplopia means seeing single—it's the normal, happy state where your two eyes work together to create one clear picture of the world.
