Anisometropia and Aniseikonia Flashcards
Condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power.
Anisometropia or Asymmetropia
Condition in which the refractive status is equal in the two eyes.
Isometropia
A form of anisometropia in which one eye in myopic and the other is hyperopic.
Antimetropia
Condition in which the refractive power of two eye is unequal.
Absolute Anisometropia
Type of refractive anomaly in which although the total refraction of the two eyes is equal.
Relative Anisometropia
Greek word of “Aniseikonia”.
Unequal Images
The image in one eye is perceived as different in size compared to the image in the other eye.
Aniseikonia
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 relative error.
Iseikonic Lenses
