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

Optic Disc - Fovea Distance, Axial Length and Parapapillary Zones. The Beijing Eye Study 2011
Rahul A Jonas,Ya Xing Wang,Hua Yang,Jianjun Li,Liang Xu,Songhomitra Panda-Jonas,Jost B. Jonas +6 more
TL;DR: The axial elongation associated increase in DFD was due to an enlargement of parapapillary beta/gamma zone while the Bruch’s membrane opening-fovea distance did not enlarge with longer axial length.

The association between the foveal avascular zone and retinal thickness.
TL;DR: Despite large individual variations in size and shape of the foveal avascular zone, the INLFAZ has a relatively constant thickness at the margins of the FAZ, suggesting the presence of retinal capillaries is needed to sustain an INL FAZ thickness greater than 60 μm.

Analysis of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber distribution in normal young adults.
TL;DR: Subjects with increased distance between the foveola and optic disc center are likely to have a temporal shift in peak RNFL thickness, and the angles in the eyes in each individual showed significant differences.

Visual performance in emmetropia and low myopia after correction of high-order aberrations.
TL;DR: Myopic observers may not benefit to the same extent as emmetropes from adaptive optics (AO) correction in a visual acuity (VA) task, and optical aberrations do not limit VA in low myopia after AO correction.

Age-Associated Changes in the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Optic Nerve Head
TL;DR: Although both RNFL and ONH NRR parameters contain axons of retinal ganglion cells, there are differences in age-related changes in these measures that should be considered in clinical application.

TL;DR: A method is described which allows the real diameter of an object on the fundus to be determined by means of a system of curves which are the result of trigonometrical calculations and which give an approximate value.

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.

A method of determining the equivalent powers of the eye and its crystalline lens without resort to phakometry
TL;DR: If the positions of the principal points of the crystalline lens are conjectured, its equivalent power and that of the eye can be calculated as described from ocular dioptrics.
