Dysmetropsia

Dysmetropsia is when your eyes don't see things the way they actually are. Let's say you look at a round ball, your eyes might make it look like it's not round, but instead, it looks too big or too small or maybe even too close or too far away. It's like when you put on someone else's glasses, and things start to look a little funny. Sometimes this problem can be temporary and go away on its own, but other times it can be a more serious eye condition. If you ever feel like your eyes are playing tricks on you, it's important to tell an adult so they can help you see a doctor to fix the problem.
