Myopia = nearsighted Hyperopia = farsighted
What is metropia? What does it do?
Measurement of vision - acts like a suffix
What does em- mean? Similar to?
Good, normal = eu-
When adding prefixes to metropia (vision measure) A- Em- Hetero- Hyper- Iso-
A- = abnormal refraction Em- = normal refraction Hetero- = unequal refraction Hyper- = excessive refraction Iso- = equal refraction
When adding prefixes to -opsia (vision) Chromat/o Hemi- Macro- Micro- Phon/o
Chromat/o = colour vision condition Hemi- = half vision Macro- = objects appear larger Micro- = objects appear smaller Phon/o = sensation of colour produced by sound
When adding prefixes to -tropia (condition of turning)
Hyper-
Exo-
Eso-
Hyper- = upward turning Exo- = outward turning Eso- = inward turning
