The list of possible eye diseases is not limited to physical damage and deterioration of sharpness and sharpness of vision. Diseases such as aniseikonia are directly related to the distortion of the real image that the human eye sees, which may be due to various factors. This pathology is important in time to detect and correct.

Definition of disease
Aniseikoniya is a disease that makes changes in the structure of the eye, due to which a person perceives the real value of the image in different ways with both eyes.Thus, on the retina of one eye, it can be greater than that of the second eye.
The difference can be quite small (from seven percent), and can reach a high percentage.
Distinguish the disease of a functional and optical type.Aniseikonija the first form arises, as a rule, at a wrong position of visual elements of a retina of both eyes. Optical is the result of different refractions, when one eye can show signs of hyperopia, the second - myopia.
Causes
Aniseikoniya can arise independently without any prerequisites. But also the reasons for its appearance may be the following factors:
- Injury and damage to the eyeball(in particular, the retina);
- Development and aggravation of hyperopia and myopia in different eyes.
In the case of antimetropia and anisometropia, careful monitoring and monitoring should be carried out, since their development may contribute to the appearance of aniseukonium.
Symptoms
The main symptom of the disease is the difficulty in perceiving the spatial relationship. Often it is difficult for a patient to determine the true dimensions of the subject or phenomenon in question, it can be difficult to navigate in space, to read. There may also appear painful sensations, among which:
- Pain in the eye area that occurs against a background of constant tension;
- Frequent headaches and migraines (including tension and fatigue);
- Visual impairment, farsightedness and myopia progression;
- Monocular vision develops;
- Fast fatiguability.
Possible complications
Alow-backedness in the neglected degree is able to reduce the working capacity and physical capabilities of a person.Without the timely intervention of an ophthalmologist, vision can fall at a high rate. The patient can increasingly experience discomfort associated with pain of tension and constant fatigue. In addition, the development of amblyopia is possible.
Treatment
Treatment of this pathology begins with a diagnosis to establish the exact cause of its appearance and the degree of development.It usually includes a hardware examination (with the help of an aniseiometer), a study of the structure of the eye and the drawing up of a card of the patient's complaints. The history of the disease can also be important. The findings, obtained as a result of careful research, become the main tool for prescribing the right treatment.
Medication
Like many diseases of this type, aniseikoniya can not be medicated.However, with the help of medications, you can remove symptoms such as redness and pain, migraine, swelling and increased tearing.As a preventive medicine in the postoperative period, antibacterial agents can be prescribed.
No medications can be used without a doctor's recommendation. In this case, they can become a catalyst for the development of the problem.
Surgically
Functional neiznejkonija can not be eliminated by means of surgical operations.In this case, only the use of special corrective lenses and glasses is shown. However, the disease of the optical type can be treated with the correction of myopia and hyperopia.In this case, according to the individual parameters of each patient, the shape of the cornea changes with the help of a laser.This operation is safe and carried out without any stitches. In addition, it does not require a long recovery period, and the clarity of vision is restored almost on the same day.
Prevention
It is rather difficult to prevent the emergence and development of aniseikonium, but it is possible to reduce the risk of its occurrence. This requires:
- Provide a full rest to the visual apparatus;
- Properly eat and include in the daily diet foods rich in vitamins and minerals;
- Provide reasonable physical effort;
- Reduce the work time for electronic devices;
- Timely correct visual impairment;
- To conduct preventive visits to the ophthalmologist.
Full rest and proper nutrition are also important in the period of treatment and correction of the disease.

conclusions
Aniseikoniya can significantly worsen a person's working capacity and his orientation in space. In addition, often it causes the appearance of discomfort and pains of various types, prevents a normal life. However, timely medical assistance can improve the situation. Corrective drugs, laser surgery and auxiliary tools can restore a person's ability to work and rest quietly, practically without feeling damage to his body from pathology.
