It seems to me that “ametropia” is a medical term that describes the inability to perceive the position of the object in space. An object is not ametropic if it can be perceived at all (as in, no matter how it’s oriented or how much it’s tilted, it can’t be considered ametropic).
If you read the Wikipedia page for that term, you’ll find that ametropia is a medical condition, which is why the Wikipedia article is called the “medical definition of ametropia”. To me, ametropia doesn’t describe something that is a physical condition, so much as something that is a social phenomenon that can be described through a set of abstract concepts.
Ametropia is a social phenomenon. In the eyes of doctors, ametropia is when a person is unable to see the world as it really is, even though it is an experience they’ve had for a long time. It is a social phenomenon, and to me, that description is much more concrete and specific. I am referring to the social phenomenon of a person being unable to orient or tilt their head towards the light, because they feel their vision is fading.
This is a social phenomenon that can actually be deadly. In the United States, it’s considered a “psychosomatic” condition.
Its also a medical condition, and has become a popular medical term for the fact that it doesn’t seem to bother anyone. In my view, it’s important to note that most times, people who are not ametropic, or have no ametropia, don’t experience any of the effects. Those who do still experience the effects. I’m also not saying that everyone who experiences ametropia is an ametropic. Because some people are just born that way.
As an example, my brother is an ametropic. I always knew I was a bit of crazy, and he was always the first to tell me so. He and my other brother are both fairly common ametropics, but Ive always had a really hard time believing that neither of them actually had ametropia.
I’ve never heard anyone mention ametropia as a medical condition, but they’re very common. It’s a medical condition that occurs when the brain’s ability to perceive gravity changes. The brain’s ability to perceive gravity is affected by our height, so if you’re short, you can’t perceive gravity the same way that a person with a normal brain can.
Ive heard this referred to as gravity-impaired ametropia before, but Ive never heard anyone discuss it as a medical condition. Some people have even said this is how they met my other brother.
Its a term used to describe a condition where the brain can still process information, but its not as sharp as in normal gravity-impaired ametropia. You may be able to feel things, but your sense of balance and orientation will be weak and unreliable.
As I was saying, a person with a normal brain can still feel things and process information. For example, you could be feeling a slight headache, but your sense of balance and orientation will be weak and unreliable. This is where self-awareness comes in. The ability to identify a weak sense of balance or orientation is helpful to a person with ametropia.
