Purpose:
To examine the amount of defect of stereopsis in experimentally induced anisometropia of various value and type.
Material And Methods:
20 healthy adults without significant refraction error or anisometropia and with full stereopsis were examined. They all undergone Titmus stereotest (circles) after they had experimentally induced anisometropia with the use of trial lenses. Mean values of stereopsis in arc sec. were calculated for each value of anisometropia.
Results:
The largest defect of stereopsis was noted in spherical hypermetropia. In all kinds of refraction error the critical value for almost complete loss of stereopsis was 3D plus. Generally, the same values of anisometropia in sphere result in slightly more severe loss of stereopsis than in cylinder.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
