Potec PDR-7000 - Vertical Coincidence Test

PDR-7000 Operation Manual
4.5.7 Vertical coincidence test
Use: To detect aniseikonia and to correct vertical phoria
Chart: Vertical coincidence
Auxiliary lens: Right eye 135°, left eye 45°, polarizing filters, binocular rotary prism
Applicable model: PACP-7000, PACP-7000L, PLC-7000pola, PLC-7100pola,
PLC-8000pola
Ideal appearance:
Right eye Left eye Binocular ideal
O Aniseikonia detection
1. Present the vertical coincidence chart.
Press
The polarizing filters are placed in the measuring windows.
2. Ask the patient, “Can you see a square with a dot in the center? Are the left and
right frames the same size? Or, is one smaller than the other?”
Ex.) 3.5% aniseikonia
The width of a line corresponds to 3.5% aniseikonia.
When the aniseikonia is due to anisometropia (refractive power difference of 2.00 D or
more between the left and right eyes), a spectacle lens prescription is suitable for axial
anisometropia and contact lens one is suitable for refractive anisometropia.
