- localised
Used for disease processes affecting one area; broader and more widely understood than 'unifocal'.

- bifocal
Describes lenses split into two segments for near and distance vision; a specific subtype of multifocal.

Most common in medical or optical contexts — describing pathology findings (e.g. 'unifocal disease'), cardiac rhythm patterns (e.g. 'unifocal premature contractions'), or the design of corrective lenses. In everyday conversation, terms like 'single-vision' (for lenses) or 'localised' (for medical findings) are more common.
