PURPOSE We compared the retinal thickness (RT) and choroidal thickness (ChT) between the fellow eyes of nonamblyopic myopic anisometropes. METHODS The eyes of 22 nonamblyopic myopic anisometropes (≥ 1 diopter [D] spherical equivalent refraction [SER] anisometropia) were examined using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Customized software was used to register, align, and a...

Partially accommodative esotropia is an acquired strabismus characterized by high hyperopia, a normal AC/A ratio, and a deviation that responds only partially to spectacle correction. Surgery is done for the non-accommodative portion of the deviation. Over-corrections are managed by reducing the hyperopic power of the spectacles. This retrospective study was done to determine the risk factors f...

PURPOSE This article describes an empirically derived mathematical model of the treatment dose-response of occlusion therapy for amblyopia based on outcome data obtained from the Monitored Occlusion Treatment for Amblyopia Study (MOTAS). METHODS The MOTAS protocol comprised three discrete phases: baseline, refractive adaptation, and occlusion. Only data from the occlusion phase were used in t...

Anisometropic amblyopia is characterized by a decrease in best corrected visual acuity in one eye as a result of significantly different refractive errors between the two eyes. The eye that ultimately provides a more blurred image to the visual cortex develops amblyopia.1 Several authors have suggested that anisometropia is the leading cause of amblyopia and is responsible for approximately 50%...

OBJECTIVES To provide a description of refractive errors in healthy, term-born children, aged 1 through 48 months, and to test the hypotheses that spherical equivalent becomes significantly less hyperopic and less variable with increasing age. METHODS Following a prospective, cross-sectional design, cycloplegic retinoscopy was used to measure the refractive error in both eyes of 514 healthy, ...

The incidence of amblyopia was analysed in a group of 20 patients with early onset esotropia. These patients reached adulthood without any form of previous treatment. The incidence of amblyopia was compared in a group of 20 patients who received conventional treatment, including occlusion and early surgical alignment. Only three patients (15%) in the untreated group presented with amblyopia, co...

Amblyopia is an acquired defect in ocular vision that is due to abnormal visual acuity which can be unilateral of bilateral,and can not be directly related to structural defects or optic radiation.Amblyopia can be effectively treated during the first decade of lift in most cases.for this reason in a cross sectional study in 1996 with multistage random sampling 1726 students in age 7-8 years old...
