That refractive condition of the eye in which the rays of light are all brought accurately and without undue effort to a focus upon the retina; -- opposed to hypermetropia, myopia, and astigmatism.

Normal condition of the eye when light focuses correctly on the retina

(em-uh-TROH-pee-uh): Refractive state of having no refractive error. Images of distant objects are focused sharply on the retina without the need for either accommodation or corrective lenses.
Helpful?           0
the ideal optical condition of the eyes
Helpful?           0
no refractive error, where light coming from a distant object and entering the eye focuses upon the retina while the crystalline lens in its most relaxed (thinnest) state
Helpful?           0
Absence of refractive error (ie. 20/20 vision).
Helpful?           0
This is the term for a normal eye with no short- or long-sightedness. An eye with zero dioptre or degree.
Helpful?           0
is the ideal state of the eye in which no refractive error is present
Helpful?           0
(ophthalmology) the normal refractive condition of the eye in which there is clear focus of light on the retina
Helpful?           0
Perfect eyesight. Warning: if you are emmetropic, leave in 5 seconds or this web site will explode.
Helpful?           0
having perfect distance vision without the need of lens correction. The ophthalmic term for a normal eye in which light rays focus correctly on the retina, that is, there is no nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Helpful?           0
(the normal eye) — light focuses precisely on the retina, and near and far objects are seen clearly.
Helpful?           0
Perfect 20/20 vision, no need for glasses, contacts or any other vision correction.
Helpful?           0
A condition in which there is no measurable refractive error; a near perfect focus of the eye
Helpful?           0
no refractive errors
Helpful?           0
the condition of the normal eye where light rays from distant objects are focused on the retina so that vision is sharp and clear (20/20).
Helpful?           0
The scientific term for normal vision. When the cornea and lens of the eye focus an image directly on the retina, clear vision is the result.
Helpful?           0
Light entering the eye focuses exactly on the retina creating a sharp image. In this situation, no glasses are required for correction.
Helpful?           0
The state of an eye without refractive error in which visual acuity is at maximum for distant vision without accommodative effort.
Helpful?           0
The condition of an eye with normal vision, meaning that light rays correctly are focused at the inner back of the eye ( retina) where images are processed.
Helpful?           0
The ophthalmic term for a perfect refractive state - no nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism.
Helpful?           0
a condition generally known as “normal vision” where light rays from distant objects are focused on the retina so vision is sharp and clear (20/20). (Ref: Contact Lens Council)
Helpful?           0
another term for what is perfect vision, whereby the eye focusses the image onto the retina, rather than in front of behind it (as opposed to hyperopia and myopia)
Helpful?           0
The term applied to the vision status of an individual when the eye is properly shaped and has "perfect" distance vision without correction.
Helpful?           0
Refractive condition in which no refractive error is present and distant images are focused sharply on the retina with no need for corrective lenses. Perfect vision or 20/20.
Helpful?           0
A condition in which light rays focus correctly on the retina, without using corrective lenses; same as 6/6 vision.
Helpful?           0
the state of normal vision
Helpful?           0
The refractive condition of the normal eye with no refractive error, vision is normal as objects are in sharp focus on the retina.
Helpful?           0
No refractive correction required.
Helpful?           0
The theoretical condition of an eye in which no refraction is present.
