Purpose: To explore the clinical relationship between age, interocular differences in the corrected distance(CDVA) and near(CNVA) high contrast logMAR acuities, refractive errors, aniseikonia, axial lengths, pupil sizes, and higher order ocular aberrations (HOAs) on clinical measures of stereoacuity in asymptomatic, presbyopic, habitual spectacle wearers.
Methods: 91 subjects underwent clinical assessment of i)subjective refractive error, ii)stereoacuity[arcsecs] at 6m&40cm(Randot Stereotests), iii)aniseikonia[%] at 6m (Awaya test,vertical and horizontal meridia) iv)higher order aberrations(Hartman-Shack aberrometer) v)eyeball length and pupil size(IOL master 700). The resultant aniseikonia(AR) was calculated for pairs of aniseikonia values using Pythagorean theorem.
Results: Mean(±sd,95%CI) age of the subjects was 56.2years(±8.10,54.6-57.9).
Root mean square(RMS) interocular differences(±sd,95%CI) in spherical refractive errors, axial lengths and pupil sizes were 0.66D(±0.93,0.47-0.85), 0.24mm(±0.33,0.17-0.31), 0.15mm(±0.11,0.12-0.17). Median(mode,interquartile range) values for AR were 2.8(1.0,1.3-4.0). Significant correlations(p
