Even after idiopathic macular hole (MH) surgery and with successful closure of MH, aniseikonia is a common postoperative symptom. We investigated the correlation of MH diameter, retinal displacement and retinal layer thicknesses with aniseikonia in 41 eyes of 41 patients undergoing MH surgery with internal limiting membrane peeling. Aniseikonia was measured with the New Aniseikonia Test. Retinal displacement (RD%) was defined as change of retinal distance between the temporal margin of the optic papilla and the intersection of the retinal vessels. Changes of thicknesses of the inner nuclear layer (INL%) and the outer retinal layer (OR%) were calculated. Aniseikonia improved postoperatively. Preoperative aniseikonia and their improvement at 6 months correlated with MH diameters (P = 0.004-0.046). Improvement of aniseikonia correlated with temporal RD% (P = 0.002-0.012). Improvement of vertical aniseikonia correlated with INL% at 2 weeks and with the nasal OR% at 1, 3, and 6 months (P = < 0.001-0.028). MH diameter and age were significant predictors for improvement of aniseikonia. The greater the temporal retina displacement, and the thinner the postoperative INL and OR, the greater the improvement of aniseikonia. MH diameter and age are strong predictors for improvement of aniseikonia after MH surgery.

The Initial Progression of Physical and Perceptual Symptoms Associated With Aniseikonia.
Transl Vis Sci Technol
November 2024
Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry and Vision Science, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the initial progression of physical and perceptual symptoms associated with wearing spectacles that produce unequal retinal image sizes in the two eyes (aniseikonia).
Methods: A within-subjects experiment (n = 20) was conducted to assess how symptoms change over one hour. Participants wore spectacles that contained a minifying lens (4%) over one eye and a plano lens over the other.
Impact of retinal traction induced by epiretinal membrane on aniseikonia.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Japanese Red Cross Society Himeji Hospital, 1-12-1 Shimoteno, Himeji, Hyogo, Japan.
We investigated the effect of retinal traction caused by epiretinal membranes (ERMs) on aniseikonia and retinal microstructures in 81 unilateral ERMs. Retinal traction was quantified by measuring the maximum depth of the retinal fold (MDRF) using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. Measurements included the mean inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL), central retinal thickness (CRT), and interocular ratios of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area (FAZ ratio).

Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find out what factors can predict how well a person's vision will be after surgery for a specific type of eye problem called rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
- Researchers tested patients' vision, focusing on problems like seeing things distorted (metamorphopsia) and differences in image size between both eyes (aniseikonia) three months after their surgery.
- They found that damage to certain parts of the retina seen in special eye images was linked to worse vision outcomes after the surgery.
Relationship between binocular vision and Govetto's stage in monocular idiopathic epiretinal membrane.
Sci Rep

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, 54 Shogoin Kawahara-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, 606-8507, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between Govetto's staging (stages 1-4) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) and binocular vision, as previous research focused solely on monocular vision.* -
- Researchers analyzed various visual parameters in 28 treatment-naïve patients with unilateral ERM, finding that Govetto's stage correlated significantly with binocular single vision (BSV) and central retinal thickness.* -
- The results indicated that patients without BSV had a more advanced Govetto stage compared to those with BSV, highlighting the staging system's potential in predicting both monocular and binocular visual function.*
THE IMPACT OF EARLY SURGICAL INTERVENTION ON ANISEIKONIA IN PATIENTS WITH EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Retina
September 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of early surgical intervention in ameliorating aniseikonia among patients with epiretinal membrane.
Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled patients who underwent surgery for epiretinal membrane. Patients were divided into early (symptom onset within 1 year) and late (symptom onset ≥1 year) treatment groups.
