Q

The condition in which the two eyes have unequal refractive power. One eye may be myopic (nearsighted) and the other hyperopic (farsighted) or one eye may be markedly stronger than the other.

20
Q

Small degrees of anisometropia. If there is a difference of more than 5D between the two eyes, the patient loses binocularity.

A

Binocular Vision.

21
Q

If the anisometropia is high and the eyes have a good visual acuity, the patient gets into a habit of using the hypermetropic eye for distance and the myopic eye for near vision.

A

Alternating Vision

22
Q

If the defect in one eye is high and if its visual acuity is not good, the eye can be excluded altogether from vision and the eye becomes amblyopic.

A

Amblyopia

23
Q

A concomitant convergent squint occurs in children with eye having the defect becoming convergent.

A

Strabismus

24
Q

Commonly referred as lazy eye. This is when a child has reduced vision in one of their eyes because during childhood they have not used that eye adequately.

A

Amblyopia

25
Q

This is when a person is not able to align both of their eyes under normal conditions simultaneously and is referred as being cross eyed.

A

Strabismus

26
Q

This is when a person has double vision.

A

Diplopia

27
Q

Clinical test mainly used for assessing a patient’s degree of “binocular vision” and “binocular single vision”.

A

Worth Four Light Test/ Worth’s Four Dot Test/ W4LT

28
Q

Occurs during binocular vision when the brain does not process the information received from either of the eyes.

A

Suppression

29
Q

The corrective spectacles can be tolerated up to maximum difference of 4D. HIgher than that, diplopia may occur.

A

Spectacles

30
Q

Advised for higher degrees of anisometropia.

A

Contact Lens

31
Q

For uniocular aphakia.

A

IOL implantation

32
Q

For unilateral high myopia, astigmatism, and hypermetropia.

A

Refractive Corneal Surgery

33
Q

Unequal images.

A

Aniseikonia

34
Q

A binocular condition, so the image in one eye is perceived as different in size compared to the image in the other eye.

A

Aniseikonia

35
Q

Condition in which the size and shape of the ocular images are equal.

A

Iseikonia

36
Q

Condition in which ocular images are unequal in size and shape.

A

Aniseikonia

37
Q

Lenses which correct aniseikonia and include also the correction of refractive error.

A

Iseikonic Lenses

38
Q

Eyes are gazing in a certain direction.

Images are different in size.

A

Static Aniseikonia

39
Q

Optic induced anisophoria.

Eyes have to rotate a different amount to gaze at the same point in space.

A

Dynamic Aniseikonia

40
Q

The size of one ocular image is symmetrically larger than the other.

A

Overall

41
Q

The size of one ocular image is symmetrically larger than the other in one meridian only.

A

Meridional

42
Q

Combination of overall and meridional is manifested.

A

Compound

43
Q

Variation in size different positions of the visual field.

A

Asymmetrical

44
Q

Image distortion increases progressively in both directions.

A

Pincushion

45
Q

Image distortion decreases progressively in both directions.

A

Barrel

46
Q

Image difference increases progressively in one direction.

A

Prismatic

47
Q

Image size remains the same but there occurs an oblique distortion of shape.

A

Oblique

48
Q

Asymmetric convergence and stereoscopic disparities exists as when viewing the object located to one side.

A

Normal
