Anisometropia

Anisometropia is a condition in which a person has different refraction of the eyes.

This means that one eye has a different optical power compared to the other. For example, one eye may be farsighted and the other nearsighted. Or one eye has a low degree of farsightedness, and the other has a high degree of farsightedness.

The causes of anisometropia can be:

  1. Congenital abnormalities of eye development (for example, anisocoria - different pupil sizes)

  2. Injuries or diseases leading to changes in the shape of the eyeball

  3. Irregular astigmatism - different curvature of the cornea of ​​the eyes

  4. Different pressure inside the eyes due to pathologies (glaucoma, etc.)

  5. Age-related changes in refraction

Anisometropia can lead to decreased visual acuity, impaired binocular vision, and the occurrence of strabismus. Treatment depends on the cause and degree of anisometropia. This may include wearing glasses or contact lenses with different optical powers for each eye, as well as surgical correction in some cases.



Anisometropia is an optical condition of the eyes in which a person has a different refraction in each eye. This means that one eye may have stronger or weaker optical power than the other eye.

Anisometropia can cause a variety of vision problems, such as double vision, blurred vision, dizziness, or eye fatigue. It can also impair a person's ability to navigate in space and perform tasks that require accurate judgment of distances and depth.

The causes of anisometropia can be different. Some people may be born with this condition, while others may develop it as a result of injury or eye disease. Problems with anisometropia can also occur after eye surgery.

Anisometropia can be diagnosed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. Various methods are commonly used to determine the degree of difference in eye refraction, including autorefractometry, refractometry, and binocular vision tests.

Treatment for anisometropia may include wearing glasses or contact lenses, which help equalize the power of the eyes. In some cases, surgery may be required, for example to correct strabismus.

Overall, anisometropia is a fairly common condition that can lead to a variety of vision problems. However, with proper diagnosis and treatment, most people with anisometropia can achieve improvements in their vision and quality of life.



Anisometropia is a difference in the optical power of both eyes, detected both in mid-vision (up to 1g) vision and in oculomotor reaction under physiological or ergometric conditions. In a normal person, the optical power of both eyes often differs in the range of 0.25-0.5 D. During clinical studies, it was found that the difference should be no more than ?U2 D. This is due to the fact that in 80% of patients with anisometropia in rogo
