  • Title: [Fusion and aniseikonic problems in unilateral aphakia (author's transl)].
    Author: Dannheim E, Retzlaff HU.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1979 Apr; 174(4):629-34. PubMed ID: 459333.
    Abstract:
    In 67 unilateral aphakic patients corrected with three different optic systems (conventional contact lens, spheric overcorrection and intraocular lens) aniseikonia and binocular vision are tested. Conventional contact lens leads to 7% aniseikonia and to fusion in only half of the cases. Patients with the two other systems show less than 3% aniseikonia and fusion in most cases. With each system only 10% of the patients reach normal stereoscopic vision. The poor results in unilateral aphakia corrected by conventional contact lens are pointed out.
