ABSTRACT The design of aniseikonic corrections is discussed and tables are presented which simplify the procedure consistent with laws requiring “impact‐resistant” lenses for all patients. Evaluated are effects on magnification of lens vertex distance, base curves, and thickness changes. The tables presented can also be used to evaluate and reduce inadvertent introduction of aniseikonia due to variation in lens thickness or curvature when a patient's lens(es) are replaced.

ABSTRACT Luminance thresholds were obtained for narrow bars of light in vertical, horizontal, left oblique, and right oblique orientations. From 5° to 60° into the periphery, thresholds were significantly higher for the stimuli in oblique orientations. This situation remained in both light and dark‐adapted conditions, suggesting the problem pervades both rod and cone visual systems.

ABSTRACT In a computerized eye examination, there are times when the examiner is not at the patient's side. Hence, it was anticipated that non‐verbal indicators (i.e., EKG, blink, GSR) might be used to aid the computer in converging upon the proper lens correction more expediently. During actual clinical examinations at the University of California, Berkeley, EKG, blink, GSR, arm acceleration, and respiration measurements were made on 38 patients to determine if there is any correlation between any of the above and the patient's uncertainty about his/her response as indicated by reaction time and tone of voice. It was found that the EKG (four patients) and respiratory rate (four patients) were usually steady and rather insensitive to uncertainty of response. For three out of ten patients tested in the blink response, a rough correlation was found. The other seven patients produced non‐correlating responses. For twelve patients tested, the GSR was found to be an unreliable indicator of uncertainty. Further, eight patients exhibited little or no arm acceleration movements during the attentive portions of the eye examinations.

ABSTRACT The latency of the fusional vergence or the disparity vergence system has been found to vary from 130 to 250 milliseconds for unpredictable inputs. It has also been established that there is a prediction operator in the system which seems most effective around the 0.5 Hz region. The experiments also indicate a hitherto unnoticed difference between the convergence and the divergence latencies, with the latter being shorter. Similarities between the accommodation and the fusional vergence systems in terms of their latency and prediction characteristics are indicated by the results, but further work is necessary to test these correlations.
