Abstract

We describe a case of where significant anisometropic astigmatism was accompanied with considerable asthenopic symptoms. Symptoms were not alleviated by the prescribing of a partial spectacle correction. Subsequent treatment with a contact lens and an iseikonic spectacle correction did alleviated the asthenopia We confirmed that this symptomatic relief was linked to the reduction of the static and dynamic components of aniseikonia achieved with her contact lens and iseikonic spectacle lenses compared to a standard spectacle lens design.
