Macular thickness and amblyopia

Macular Thickness and Amblyopia

PURPOSE To compare macular thickness in children with functional amblyopia and those without amblyopia using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS This case-control study was conducted on 93 children aged 3-10 years including 44 cases with unilateral amblyopia and 49 subjects without amblyopia. Amblyopic eyes were considered as the case group and their fellow eyes as internal controls; ...

Amblyopia and Foveal Thickness

Evaluation of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macular Thickness in Amblyopia

Purpose: To investigate the differences in macular and nevre fiber layer thicknesses between amblyopic and fellow eyes. Method: One hundred and twenty two eyes of 61 patients were enrolled for this study. All patients underwent complete ocular examination, cover test, prism test and also RNFL, macular thickness measurements (CMT; central macular thickness, TMT; total macular thickness) were obt...

Macular and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in unilateral anisometropic or strabismic amblyopia.

PURPOSE To compare the macular and nerve fiber layer thicknesses as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in amblyopic and fellow eyes. METHODS Fifty patients with monocular strabismic (n = 25) or anisometropic (n = 25) amblyopia (best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ranging from 20/40 to 20/400) were included in a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study. A refractive error more...

Macular retinal and choroidal thickness in unilateral amblyopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography

BACKGROUND To investigate macular retinal and choroidal thickness in amblyopic eyes compared to that in fellow and normal eyes using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). METHODS This study examined 31 patients with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia (6.9 ± 3.8 years, mean ± standard deviation), 15 patients with strabismic amblyopia without anisometropia (7.9 ± 4.2 years), and 24...
