Abstract
-
The authors analysed the interpupillary distance and the distance between optical centers in 200 spectacles wearers. The results were as follows; 1. Among the 200 glasses wearers, the cases of hospital prescriptions were 44 persons and the cases of optical shops prescriptions were 156 persons. 2. Hyperopic glasses wearers were 26 persons and myopic glasses wearers were 174 persons. 3. The distance between optical centers was coincided to the interpupillary distance in 26 persons and discrepant in 174 persons. 4. In 115 eyes the prismatic effects were more than 0.5 prism diopter, and maximal prismatic effect was 5.78 prism diopters. 5. The evaluation of the induced horizontal phoria showed that 119 persons had the induced esophoria and 55 persons had the induced exophoria. In 58 persons induced phoria were more than 1 prism diopter. Maximal induced esophoria was 11.55 prism diopters and maximal induced exophoria was 4.30 prism diopters.
