Term
| How much do the refractive errors in each eye have to be to consider the patient as having anisometropia? |

Term
| How much is the accomodative response in antimetropia? |
|
Definition
| The accomodative response is no greater than the amount of accomodation required by the myopic eye including the lag of accomodation due to Hering's law of equal innervation. The hyperopic eye will not accomodate enough. |

Term
| Which group has the biggest magnification uncorrected axial, myopes, hyperopes, or emmetropes? |
|
Definition
| myopes>emmetropes>hyperopes |
|
|
Term
| Which group has the biggest magnification, uncorrected refractive myopes, emmetropes or hyperopes? |
|
Definition
| Refractive error doesn't create an image size difference. |
|
|
Term
| According to Knapp's law, which type of myopia or hyperopia would best be corrected by spectacle lenses? |
|
Definition
| axial, Yet in practice while the image size may be corrected on the retina, it is not corrected cortically. |
|
|
Term
| Which type of aniseikonia indicates a progressive increase in image size in one meridian or in all directions between the two eyes? |

Term
| What determines the factor by which the initial size is magnified or minified? |

Definition
|
|
Term
| What law says, "When a correcting lense is placed before the eye such that its second principle plane conincides with the anterior focal point of an axially ametropic eye, the size of the retinal image will be the same as though the eye were emmetropic." |
