10 Hemangioma Symptoms
Symptom #8: Anisometropia
Anisometropia refers to two eyes that have different refractive power. Each eye can be farsighted (hyperopia), nearsighted (myopia), or have antimetropia (combination of hyperopia and myopia). Anisometropia can be defined as two eyes that have a difference in power of two diopters or more.
In some cases, the brain will suppress the central vision from one of the eyes, resulting in amblyopia (if occurring during the first 10 years of life due to the development of the visual cortex). The management of anisometropia includes the use of corrective glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. In hemangioma, the involvement of the eye can result in anisometropia.
