Abstract

The calculation of magnification differences is treated well in a number of texts, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 but the formulas are not always presented in their most convenient form. Because of this, many complex schemes have been illustrated 2 and many different versions have been published. 3, 4, 5. The purpose of this paper is to present the pertinent equations in a simplified manner and to illustrate them by a specific example, namely, the case of monocular aphakia.

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.

Multimeridional apparent frontoparallel plane: relation between stimulus orientation angle and compensating tilt angle.

The classical apparent frontoparallel plane (AFPP) setting is typically obtained by having the subject move a series of parallel rods farther or closer until they line up in a plane perceived to be parallel to the face plane. If there is a size difference between the two ocular images, the AFPP setting defined by the rods will exhibit a tilt from the objective frontoparallel plane, about an axis parallel to the rods. The multimeridional apparent frontoparallel plane (MAFPP) is an extension of this procedure to rod orientations other than the vertical meridian. In previous studies, it was found that oblique tilt angle settings corresponding to rod orientations of 45 degrees and 135 degrees are equal to square root 2 times the tilt angle for the vertical rod orientation for the same interocular magnification difference along the meridian perpendicular to the rods. In this study, we measured the tilt angles produced by a series of oblique rod orientations between 15 degrees and 165 degrees, inclusive. Throughout the 150 degrees range tested, the tilt angles were found to be consistently proportional to the cosecant of the rod orientation angle, the factor square root 2 previously used being a specific example of this relation. Within this range, neither empirical cues nor the induced effect cause the cosecant relation to break down. It is suggested that the MAFPP procedure can be applied more extensively than previously anticipated.
