Each instance is an eye disorder that causes dimness of vision. It may be gradual or sudden in onset and can be permanent or transient.

AilmentCondition The most general collection of ailment events; a subcollection of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQw4WZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysiologicalCondition</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r6e0v8orZQdefvMXViCU3lw" class="cyc_term">DysfunctionalCondition</a>. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a> is a dynamic state of sickness, injury, or physiological impairment. The rationale for construing ailments in this way is the obvious fact that to have an ailment is to undergo an event: an individual ailment has temporal features, it progresses dynamically, and so on. It is not just a matter of being in some static state of "unwellness". Subcollections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWPCEpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RespiratoryAilment</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQr9o5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HeartCondition</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1qGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Cancer</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1IRZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MotionSickness</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1e1JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Poisoning</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwvf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Infection</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWKT6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InjuryCondition</a>.

An <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a> does not begin before there is an actual, developed sickness or impairment, and thus does not include the event of getting sick or becoming impaired. Also note that each type of ailment, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwvf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Infection</a>, is the collection of all "cases" or "instances" of individuals suffering from that condition.

Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString lazy eye Amblyopia A collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a>s.
