Anopsia
Defect in one's visual field / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An anopsia (from Ancient Greek ἀν- (an-) 'without', and ὄψις (opsis) 'sight') 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.
