65
Q

What are some problems you can have by correcting refractive error of anisometropia?

A

Magnification differences, vertical imbalance when reading, and horizontal vergence problems

66
Q

Anisometropia is….

A

when the Seq of both eyes differ by 1.00 D or more

67
Q

Anisometropia vs aniseikonia?

A

Anisometropia : unequal refractive error

aniseikonia: differing retinal image sizes

68
Q

If a patient’s reading position is 10 mm below optical centers, how much anisometropia can they have before they will have symptomatic vertical imballance?

A

1.00D of aniso. This means that the person experiences 1 prism D of vertical imballance.

69
Q

If there is too much vertical imbalance for reading because of anisometropia, what lens technique can fix the vertical imballance?
