Strabismus, anisometropia, and amblyopia.
EVIDENCE will be presented in this communication to support the hypothesis that anisometropia per se does not produce strabismus, but that, for hypermetropes, the refraction of the better eye is an important factor. Further, the clinical entity of anisometropic amblyopia and its treatment will be discussed. Finally, some comments will be made on optical correction in anisometropia. The case rec...
متن کاملNeuronal correlates of amblyopia in the visual cortex of macaque monkeys with experimental strabismus and anisometropia.
Amblyopia is a developmental disorder of pattern vision. After surgical creation of esotropic strabismus in the first weeks of life or after wearing -10 diopter contact lenses in one eye to simulate anisometropia during the first months of life, macaques often develop amblyopia. We studied the response properties of visual cortex neurons in six amblyopic macaques; three monkeys were anisometrop...
متن کاملAnisometropia and amblyopia--chicken or egg?
Editorials Anisometropia and amblyopia-chicken or egg? Amblyopia continues to attract tremendous interest from basic scientists and clinicians, yet surprisingly large gaps in our understanding of this topic remain. One of these is highlighted by Abrahamsson and Sj6strand who describe in this issue of the B7O (p 860) a meticulous follow up of 20 children to the age of 10 who at 1 year of age had...
متن کاملEvidence Base for Strabismus & Amblyopia
A review of ophthalmology surgical and non-surgical interventions for intermittent exotropia conducted for the Cochrane Database (Hatt and Gnanaraj, 2006) concluded that the available medical literature consists mainly of retrospective case reviews which are difficult to reliably interpret and analyse. The one randomised trial included found unilateral surgery more effective than bilateral surg...
متن کاملExperimental analysis of amblyopia and strabismus.
In the past few years physiological experiments have brought us a little closer to an understanding of some forms of developmental amblyopia-deficits of visual acuity of central, not retinal, origin, which are not correctable by optical means. While amblyopia has become a catch-all term that covers the symptoms of a multitude of disorders, there are certain stereotyped experimental procedures t...
