Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual impairment in both children, and young to middle-aged adults, affecting 2%–5% general population. The objective this study was compare peripapillary nerve fiber thickness macular amblyopic eyes, fellow eyes normal control using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Pediatric patients with unilateral amblyopia (anisometropic amblyopia, strabismic or both) among age group 6-18 years attending pediatric department RM Hospital were enrolled for study. All underwent full ophthalmological assessment, including visual-acuity testing, anterior segment evaluation Topcon slit lamp fundus examination Volk +90D lenses. statistical analysis done SPSS V. 20. average retinal layer 120.6 μm (SD=14.6 μm) eye, 118.1 (SD=15.6 eye 113.2 (SD=9.4 (p=0.104) respectively. 298.6 (SD=19.1 296.9 (SD=11.2 303 (SD=12.4 (p=0.260) In conclusion, our did not find any significant difference when compared between gender matched eyes.
