Anisometropia Flashcards
It is defined as a condition in which the refractive status of one eye differs from that the other.
Anisometropia
The condition in which the refractive status is equal in the two eyes
Isometropia
A form of anisometropia in which one eye is myopic and the other hyperopic.
Antimetropia
this occurs because of differential growth of the eyeball of both eyes. It is hereditary in origin.
Congenital Anisometropia
It is a type of anisometropia in which created by trauma, pathology or the results of systemic changes.
Acquired Anisometropia
It is a condition in which the refractive power of the two eyes is unequal.
Absolute anisometropia
It is that type of refractive anomaly in which although the total refraction of the two eyes is equal, the component elements in each show relatively large differences.
Relative anisometropia
It is when one eye is normal and the other has either myopic or hyperopic astigmatism.
Simple Astigmatic Anisometropia
It is when both eyes are astigmatic but of unequal degree.
Compound Astigmatic Anisometropia
It is the defect in one eye is high and if its visual acuity is not good, the eye can be excluded altogether from vision and the eye becomes amblyopic.
Amblyopia
A concomitant convergent squint occurs in children with the eye having the defect becoming convergent.
Stabismus
Give 3 symptoms of anisometropia
Amblyopia
Stabismus
Eye strain
Headache
It is a clinical test mainly used for assessing a patient’s degree of “binocular vision” and “binocular single vision”

Site what are the available treatments
Spectacles
✔Contact lenses
✔Refractive laser — LASIK laser ✔Phakic IOL
✔Clear lens extraction with the implantation of an IOL
In this both eyes are ametropic. One eye is hyperopic and the other is myopic.
