Anisometropia and Aniseikonia Flashcards
Aniseikonia is a greek word which means what?
Unequal images
Commented upon the probability of unequal
image sizes.
Donders
Designed iseikonic lenses for aniseikonia.
Von Rohr
Discussed the possibility
C. Hess
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
Lenses which correct aniseikonia and include also the correction of refractive error.
Iseikonic lenses
What are the two types of aniseikonia.
Static and Dynamic
What are the classifications of aniseikonia.
Symmetrical and Asymmetrical
The size of one ocular image is symmetrically larger that the other
Overall
The size of one ocular image is symmetrically larger that the other in one meridian only
Meridional
combination of overall and meridional is manifested.
Compound
image distortion increases progressively in both directions
Pincushion
image size remains the same but there occurs an oblique distortion of shape.
Oblique
image difference increases progressively in one direction
Prismatic
