Abstract
Anisometropia is not a rare condition and should be assessed before cataract surgery. A comprehensive method to calculate the objective aniseikonia and to measure the subjective aniseikonia in anisometropia was proposed. If cataract surgery is considered in anisometropic patients, a postoperative an...

Abstract
In general direct-comparison aniseikonia tests have a repeated measurement accuracy of approximately 0.5% standard deviation (this also includes actual aniseikonia fluctuations). A direct-comparison aniseikonia test with free eye rotation seems to underestimate the amount of aniseikonia. However, co...

Abstract
On average, the most accurate and repeatable measurement of aniseikonia was found with Version 1 in the vertical meridian in the dark. Measurement of aniseikonia in the horizontal meridian appears to be less reliable. Version 2 overestimates size lens-induced aniseikonia under all testing conditions...

Abstract
Of the 358 patients studied, 22.7% were men and 67.3% women. The average age was 38.3 (SD 17.3) years. 40.2% of the patients were emmetropic and 59.8% had some type of ametropia. When analyzing the refractive defect measured as the spherical equivalent we found a higher prevalence of myopia than hyp...

Abstract
When reporting the aniseikonia of patients with retinal conditions, one cannot speak of 'the' aniseikonia(i.e., a single value or a single value for each direction), because it is most likely field-dependent. It is also important to use a test that only measures static aniseikonia (direct comparison...

Abstract
For the Space Eikonometer, the slopes of the lines for the relationship between the measured aniseikonia and the induced magnification differences in the vertical and horizontal meridians are not significantly different from 1.0. For the Aniseikonia Inspector, the slopes of the lines in the vertical...

Abstract
Orthoptic anomalies are prevalent: they are encountered in at least 5% of patients seen in a typical primary eyecare practice. Several cases are reviewed that highlight the role of contact lenses in treating orthoptic anomalies. In particular, contact lenses are the preferred optical approach to the...

Abstract
Aniseikonia may vary with VFA due to a retinal cause such as an epiretinal membrane. The problem with field-dependent aniseikonia is that it cannot be corrected fully with conventional optics, which exhibit an approximately constant magnification as a function of VFA. Nevertheless, by correcting 5%...

Abstract
The aniseikonia test used in this study can be considered a simple, fast, valid and reliable method to measure the difference in image size perceived by each eye. Aniseikonia does occur in symptomatic patients with ERM. The effect of ERM on image size is heterogeneous across the retinal area affecte...

CONCLUSION: A formula for the determination of the intra-ocular lens required to produce any given transverse image size at the retina is derived. This...

Abstract
The capabilities of this computing scheme are demonstrated with two examples. In example 1 we calculate a toric lens and a spherocylindrical spectacle correction for compensation of a corneal astigmatism to realize a predefined iso-meridional magnification. In example 2 we first determine the meridi...

Abstract
The means and standard deviations of the measured aniseikonia in the vertical, horizontal, and oblique meridians were -0.5% (2.5%), -0.1% (3.3%) and 0.3% (2.8%) respectively. The means in the vertical and oblique meridians were significantly different from 0.0 (p=0.0001, p=0.0314) while that in the...

These results, together with others on different binocular functions, show the importance of aniseikonia in binocular vision. On this basis, we recommend that aniseikonia be considered in surgical processes such as cataract and refractive surgery, whereby aniseikonia could be induced and binocular p...

Abstract
In normals, measurement of the 20% artificial aniseikonia ranged from 10% to 21% (mean 15%) using the NAT, and from 16% to 39% (mean 27.1% vertically and 24.6% horizontally) using the Hess Chart. In the 21 patients with pathologic aniseikonia, the NAT measurements ranged from 0% to 24% (upper limit...

The average ratio between the measured aniseikonia and the induced aniseikonia was 0.98, 0.89 and 0.93 respectively for the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions. For two consecutive measurements of the same aniseikonic state, the difference in measurement value was 97%, 75% and 94% of the ti...

Abstract
We evaluate the impact of induced aniseikonia on stereopsis. For this, we determined the disparity range (maximum disparity), a parameter related to the size of the physical region that can be perceived stereoscopically. A significant decline in the disparity range was detected with aniseikonia indu...

Abstract
We conclude that even a 2% image size inequality stimulates oculomotor learning, leading to persistent disconjugacy of saccades. The small disparity created by the image-size inequality is thus compensated by the oculomotor system rather than tolerated by the sensory system (e.g. by enlarging the Pa...

Abstract
Anisometropia may affect and disturb the stereopsis. The degree of disturbance is related to the degree of anisometropia. The higher the degree of anisometropia, the lower the amplitude of the P(250) potential, and the main defect is at the part of fine disparity....

Abstract
The findings confirm that ocular motility problems are not exclusive to scleral buckling, with the incidence being similar in both groups. Slinging of the extraocular muscles and the accompanying dissection, resulting in the 'fat adherence syndrome', must be considered as contributory factors. The v...

For nearly 100 years, Prentice's rule has been used to determine the prismatic effect and prismatic differences at peripheral points in the binocular spectacle field.

Abstract
Aniseikonia caused by separation or compression of photoreceptors can be a contributing factor to the existence of diplopia and the inability to fuse in patients with macular disease. Concomitant small-angle strabismus and the inability to fuse with prisms may lead the clinician to the incorrect dia...

Abstract
Thirty-five (40.2%) of all pseudophakes had ophthalmic complaints referable to aniseikonia. The mean aniseikonia in the unilateral pseudophakia group was 4.1%, SD=3.41, while the mean aniseikonia in the bilateral group was 3.2%, SD=2.6. CONCLUSION: Symptomatic aniseikonia is common in pseudophakia....

Frequency of error: For Group 1 (24 cases): 5 ( or 21 %) were equal (i.e., 1% or less difference); 16 (or 67% ) were greater (more than 1% different); and 3 (13%) were less by Rule of Thumb calculation in comparison to aniseikonia determined on the Essilor eikonometer. For Group 2 (62 cases): 45 (or...

Abstract
Ten of the thirteen patients had their anisometropia due primarily to ocular axial length differences. Of these ten, seven (70%) had detectable levels of aniseikonia and 3 (30%) demonstrated no aniseikonia. The other three patients whose aniso-metropia was due to combined axial and refractive compon...

Aniseikonia per se does not appear to have a major causal role in amblyopia or strabismus, but anisometropia does for amblyopia. This role is greatly augmented by aniseikonia and this combination may then produce strabismus....

Abstract
Knapp's Law may be optically right but clinically wrong. That is, its clinical application, which predicts the absence of aniseikonia in axial aniosometropias is not fulfilled. Retinal stretching due to myopia and resultant retinal micropsia is hypothesized to be the cause of this optically unexpect...

Abstract
We report here that memory-guided saccades to a disparate target flashed 1 s earlier become disconjugate following repeated trials. After 15 min of repetition, the disconjugacy persists even when the target to be remembered is no longer disparate. This suggests fast memory-based learning. Learning,...

Abstract
Anisometropia may be responsible for aniseikonia. and anisophoria. In children, aniseikonia may create amblyopia. It is of utmost importance to distinguish axial from refractive anisometropia. When the anisometropia is axial in origin, spectacle lenses constitute the treatment of choice (Knapp's law...

We identified three major components of the saccadic command (two phasic and one tonic) that contribute and in a specific way to the saccadic yoking and disconjugacy. The model analysis proposes that separate control mechanisms exist operating on these phasic and tonic signals. We show that the sacc...
