Aniseikonia: a method of objective assessment in pseudophakia using geometric optics.
There have been various reports in the literature regarding the limits that separate acceptable from disturbing aniseikonia. A criterion value of 5% is often quoted but actual values in pseudophakia may vary from 2% to 10%, depending on the type and position of implant used. In the accompanying paper we have reported a method by which image size can be calculated in the pseudophakic eye. Using this method a series of patients with anterior and posterior chamber implants were analysed and the image size for both eyes of each patient determined. This was compared with the patient's subjective appreciation.
