Aniseikonia in patients with a unilateral artificial lens, measured with Aulhorn's phase difference haploscope.
Aniseikonia was measured in unilaterally pseudophakic patients using Aulhorn's phase difference haploscope. Mean values of aniseikonia were 1.5% horizontally and 2.0% vertically without correction, and 2.1% horizontally and 2.3% vertically with correction. With spectacle correction, the greater the dioptric difference between two eyes, the greater the amount of aniseikonia. In either case, patients tolerated these amounts of aniseikonia according to our criteria of aniseikonia tolerance.
