TLDR
Three new methods of determining Littmann's factor q become available: simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; and ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas.Abstract:
Littmann's formula relating the size of a retinal feature to its measured image size on a telecentric fundus camera film is widely used. It requires only the corneal radius, ametropia, and Littmann's factor q obtained from nomograms or tables. These procedures are here computerized for practitioners' convenience. Basic optical principles are discussed, showing q to be a constant fraction of the theoretical ocular dimension k′, the distance from the eye's second principal point to the retina. If the eye's axial length is known, three new methods of determining q become available: (a) simply reducing the axial length by a constant 1 · 82 mm; (b) constructing a personalized schematic eye, given additional data; (c) ray tracing through this eye to extend calculations to peripheral retinal areas. Results of all these evaluations for 12 subjects of known ocular dimensions are presented for comparison. Method (a), the simplest, is arguably the most reliable. It shows good agreement with Littmann's supplementary procedure when the eye's axial length is known.read more

Biomicroscopic measurement of the optic disc with a high-power positive lens.
TL;DR: The study has shown that the use of a single magnification correction value for each fundus lens may not be appropriate, and has important implications for the way in which calculations for determining the true optic disc size and other structures of the posterior pole are performed using indirect biomicroscopy.

TL;DR: The strong correlation between the thickness of inner retinal layers and axial length appeared to result from magnification effects, and outer retinal thickness may differ by gender and axIAL length independently of magnification correction.

Custom measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness using STRATUS OCT in normal eyes.
TL;DR: The results suggest that both scan options give good R NFL thickness measurement reproducibility and the use of the Nerve Head Circle option leads to less interindividual variability and can minimize the effect of differences in optic disc diameter on RNFL thickness measurements in normal subjects.

TL;DR: The result was represented by curves which enable factors used in calculating the true diameter to be determined, but instead of the curves a quadratic equation is used to produce the same factors.
