Depending on diagnostic criteria and demographics, anisometropia affects 3-20% of the population. Anisometropia is a cause of spectacle non-tolerance, owing to aniseikonia and prismatic effect. Consequences of anisometropia will be summarised, together with management options for optometrists. The threshold for when anisometropia causes problems will be discussed. The importance of anisometropia as a cause of amblyopia will be highlighted, together with the management of this condition by community optometrists.
