test
This test is for
checking Aniseikonia of
right or left eye using

When (-) diopter of right eye is higher than left eye.ⓐ
Ex: O.D : S -7.00 / O.S : S -2.00
When (-) diopter of left eye is higher than right eye.ⓑ
Ex: O.D : S -2.00 / O.S : S -7.00
4. The reason of Aniseikonia is heteropsia (when diopter's difference
of both a right and a left eye is too big).
Prescribe size lens or contact lens.
