I'm just asking this at this point because I just have to know if there is an equation that exists to accomplish this. Curiosity and Vanity being the inventors in this situation.
I have a patient that is -6.50 sph OD with Balance lens (NO vision) OS. She firmly believes that the OS eye, with no vision, is quite a bit smaller that the sighted eye. Now, I can see the difference but I think that it's something that she's been looking at her whole life and has made a much bigger issue than it is. (Being a woman, I know how this can work )
So, glasses are being ordered in 1.67 and she wants to know if the balance lens can be made in a plus power to compensate for the difference. I have set her straight on the minification (<---Seems like that should be a word, I'm leaving it ) of her script vs what a plus lens would be and how that wouldn't work well, BUT... my question is -
Is there an equation that would give me the correct amount of minus for the other eye that would balance the aesthetic. Off hand, I'm guessing at maybe a -4.50; but this is flat out grasping at straws. And I think that for a proper equation we'd need eye size, etc. More info anyway, I'm just curious if it's possible, or been done.
Provided this is making sense, anyone have any thoughts?
