Abstract

The diagnosis and management of aniseikonia has become a lost art. Refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation has created a new patient population of anisometropia. Measurement of aniseikonia through instrumentation such as the space eikonometer is not readily available. Therefore, estimating the degree of aniseikonia based on the dioptral differences between the two eyes may be the most practical approach. The optical principles of spectacle magnification can be translated by the prescribing eye doctor to reduce ocular image disparity. Contemporary lens designs, such as hi-index and aspherics, allow the practitioner to modify shape and power factors to achieve higher levels of aniseikonic correction in a cosmetically fashionable pair of spectacles.
