Evaluation Of The Reliability Of The Aniseikonia Inspector.

Background: Aniseikonia, a condition in which the eyes perceive different size images
causing visual symptoms and complaints, is a neglected area in optometry. Much of this
is due to the lack of simple yet accurate instrumentation with which to diagnose and
measure aniseikonia. Methods: The Aniseikonia Inspector computer program was administered to subjects who have normal visual systems. The naturally occurring difference in magnification between the two eyes of each subject was first determined and then again, through different size magnification lenses, thereby inducing aniseikonia. Results: The Aniseikonia Inspector is valid and reliable based on the data collected and
evaluated from this study. Conclusions: This software program is an efficient, cost effective, and worthwhile addition to clinical management of patients presenting with symptoms relating to aniseikonia.
