Abstract

A new method for diagnosing and measuring aniseikonia is described. It is based on apparent frontoparallel plane (AFPP) settings when rod stimuli are presented in 45 and 135 degrees meridians as well as in the vertical meridian. The oblique presentation of the stimulus introduces a new approach to the study of aniseikonia. To explain the results obtained, new theoretical concepts have been presented. Clinically, the method is distinguished by its ease of application to nearly all patients with functional binocular vision.

Aniseikonia, metamorphopsia and perceived entoptic pattern: some effects of a macular epiretinal membrane, and the subsequent spontaneous separation of the membrane.

Following cryo surgery for retinal hole repair, visual effects in the senior author's eyes were caused by an epiretinal membrane. Subjectively, metamorphopsia was noted, and entoptically perceived radial striae were observed centred near fixation. After subsequent cataract surgery, metamorphopsia was not detectable. Several months later, the centre of the striate entoptic pattern was observed to be centered several degrees from fixation. Concurrently, loss of contrast in the central visual field was noted. In time, both the entoptic pattern and the contrast effects became less visible (contrast improved much faster). The epiretinal membrane had spontaneously separated from the fovea. Repeated measurements of aniseikonia were obtained before cataract surgery, and after cataract surgery both prior to, and after the separation of the epiretinal membrane. Inferences are drawn.

Optical performance of the super-reversed intraocular lens.

We compared the aniseikonia, Seidel aberrations, spot diagrams, and peripheral refractive power errors of a schematic eye with a super-reversed intraocular lens (IOL) and with conventional IOLs. The results did not indicate that the super-reversed IOL performs better optically than the other IOLs, primarily because of its poorer on-axis image performance. However, this disadvantage can be overcome by aspherizing the super-reversed IOL.

New developments in the application of the multimeridional apparent frontoparallel plane.

This study is a sequel to a previous publication that introduced the multimeridional apparent frontoparallel plane (MAFPP) as a method of measuring aniseikonia. As the term implies, apparent frontoparallel plane (AFPP) responses are obtained not only in the horizontal meridian, but also in oblique meridians. Since the introductory publication, the method has been applied extensively for measuring aniseikonia and has been found to be reliable, accurate, and easily adapted to clinical purposes. This study presents a more detailed and comprehensive account of the underlying theory than did the introductory report. It clarifies some problems inherent in the method originally presented and describes a simplified and improved procedure for measuring aniseikonia. It describes the application of the theory to a number of specific clinical situations. Finally, it is suggested that the method has a much broader application than the clinical measurement of aniseikonia.
