ANISEIKONIA Aniseikonia is the situation where the image seen by one eye is different from that seen by the other eye. The difference in size or shape of the images from the two eyes can be anatomically determined by a difference in the distribution of the elements of the retina or can be an optical phenomenon that depends on the difference in the size of the images formed on the retina (difference in refraction). In addition to the size differences also occur differences in sharpness between the eyes. When there is a correction with glasses or contact lenses, the difference in sharpness disappears, but the disparity of size. This disparity in size between retinal images sharp, receives the name of Aniseikonia..
