Unfortunately, "metropia" isn't a commonly recognized term, especially in relation to eye conditions or urban planning. It seems the provided reference discusses hypermetropia, which is a different concept. There's no widely accepted definition of "metropia."
However, given its potential etymological roots ("metro" relating to cities and "-opia" relating to vision or perception), we can explore hypothetical interpretations:
1. Assuming a Typographical Error: Hypermetropia (Farsightedness)
It's possible "metropia" is a misspelling or typo of "hypermetropia." Hypermetropia, also known as farsightedness or hyperopia, is a refractive error where distant objects are seen clearly, but near objects appear blurry. This occurs because the eye focuses light behind the retina instead of directly on it.
- Cause: The eyeball is too short, or the cornea is too flat.
- Symptoms: Blurry vision when focusing on near objects, eyestrain, headaches.
- Correction: Corrective lenses (glasses or contacts) or refractive surgery.
2. A Hypothetical Urban Vision
We could speculate that "metropia" could, in theory, describe a specific vision or perception of a city. This is purely speculative as the term isn't actually in use for this.
- For example, it could describe an idealized, futuristic city design.
- Alternatively, it could describe a particular artistic or philosophical lens through which one views urban life.
In Conclusion:
The term "metropia" is not a standard term in either ophthalmology or urban planning. It is likely a misspelling of "hypermetropia" (farsightedness). However, one could theoretically envision it describing a specific perception or vision related to cities, though this usage is not established.
