Anopsia vs. Anopia

By Jaxson

  • Anopsia

    An anopsia or anopia is a defect in the visual field. If the defect is only partial, then the portion of the field with the defect can be used to isolate the underlying cause.

    Types of partial anopsia:

    Hemianopsia

    Homonymous hemianopsia

    Heteronymous hemianopsia

    Binasal hemianopsia

    Bitemporal hemianopsia

    Superior hemianopia

    Inferior hemianopia

    Quadrantanopia

    The term anopsia comes from the Ancient Greek ἀν- (an-), “un-” and ὄψις (opsis) “sight”.
