Anisometropia and Aniseikonia Flashcards
It is a binocular condition, that the image in one
eye is perceived as different in size compared to
the image in the other eye.
Aniseikonia
Discussed the possibility (1903)
C. Hess
Designed iseikonic lenses for aniseikonia
Von Rohr
Commented upon the probability of unequal
image sizes. (1864)
Donders
Lenses which correct aniseikonia and include also
the correction of refractive error.
Iseikonic Lenses
Condition in which the size and shape of the
ocular images are equal
Iseikonia
Condition in which ocular images are unequal in
size and shape
Aniseikonia
Type of Aniseikonia that the eyes are gazing in a certain direction
Static Aniseikonia
Type of Aniseikonia that the eyes have to rotate a different amount to gaze at the same point in space
or it is anisophoria (optically induced)
Dynamic Aniseikonia
the size of one ocular image is
symmetrically larger that the other.
Symmetrical Overall
the size of one ocular image is symmetrically larger that the other in one meridian only Axis 90 Axis 180 Axis oblique
Symmetrical Meridional
combination of overall and
meridional is manifested.
Symmetrical Compound
image distortion increases
progressively in both directions
Asymmetrical Pincushion
image distortion decreases progressively
in both directions
Asymmetrical Barrel
image difference increases
progressively in one direction
Asymmetrical Prismatic
image size remains the same but there
occurs an oblique distortion of shape.
Asymmetrical Oblique
Variation in size differ from different positions of
the visual field
Asymmetrical
asymmetric convergence and stereoscopic disparities exists as when viewing the object located to one side.
Normal
i. Pincushion or Barrel
ii. Ever increasing magnification towards the apex of a prism.
Abnormal Asymmetric
i. Overall
ii. Meridional
iii. Compound
Abnormal Symmetric
