Knapp’s law
A correcting spectacle lens placed at the anterior focal plane of an axially ametropic eye will form a retinal image equal in size to that formed in a standard emmetropic eye. Knapp’s law allows calculation of retinal image size and is useful for predicting aniseikonia, the image size difference between the two eyes.
