Hey! Today's word is anopsia and it means absence of sight, due to a missing eye or other structural problem! What a coincidence! I mean the Latin etymological connection to louche.

"Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is ... impossible -Richard Bach, writer (1936- ) "
The above motto could serve for a terrorist as well as for Mother Teresa.

If we use "anopsia" to mean blindness, we should also use "anacousia" to mean deafness. I couldn't find it in Forthright-Phrontistery,; but it did have "anacusic" meaning totally deaf. And we already have had "anosmia" meaning loss of olfactory sense.
