  1. Retinal Image Height, Anisometropia and Aniseikonia

  2. To calculate uncorrected retinal image height ( = 3) in a 5 D (FO) axially myopic (reduced) eye, the parameter(s) that must be calculated specifically for that eye is/are: • MCR, reduced axial length, FS • MCR, reduced axial length • reduced axial length, FS • reduced axial length

  3. To avoid retinal aniseikonia in an axially anisometropic patient, the most appropriate correction would be: • contact lenses • a contact lens for one eye and spectacle lens for the other • spectacles at the shortest practical vertex distance • spectacles at a relatively long vertex distance

  4. For a patient with axial myopia, the effect of a spectacle correction at Knapp’s Plane is to: • decrease the size of the retinal image so that it equals that of the standard emmetropic eye • produce no change between uncorrected and corrected retinal image height • increase the size of the retinal image so that it equals that of the standard emmetropic eye • produce the effect as that of a contact lens correction on retinal image height

  8. RI Height & Correction of Refractive Ametropia • Uncorrected RI heights the same in all refractive ametropes • Any difference in retinal image height after correction will therefore be due to differences in spectacle magnification (O.D. vs. O.S.) • To avoid aniseikonia in refractive anisometropia  want both correcting lenses to have same SM •  want to prescribe contact lenses to avoid aniseikonia in refractive anisometropia
