| anisometropic | 1. Relating to anisometropia. 2. Having eyes of unequal refractive power. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anisometropic amblyopia | A suppression of central vision due to an unequal refractive error (anisometropia) of at least two diopters. This induces a sufficient difference in image size (aniseikonia) that the two images cannot be fused. In order to avoid confusion, the blurrier image is suppressed. Synonym: refractive amblyopia.

| anisomycin | <chemical> An antibiotic isolated from various streptomyces species. It interferes with protein and DNA synthesis by inhibiting peptidyltransferase or the 80s ribosome system. Pharmacological action: antibiotics, antiprotozoal agents, nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors, protein synthesis inhibitor. Chemical name: 3,4-Pyrrolidinediol, 2-((4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)-, 3-acetate, (2R-(2alpha,3alpha,4beta))- (12 Dec 1998) |
