INTRODUCTION Severe myopic anisometropia has been identified to have heritability, but the pathogenesis of anisometropia still remains obscure. CASE DESCRIPTION Here, we presented a Chinese severe myopic anisometropia family with 5 members affected. Though using the exome sequencing, we identified a novel mutation in the UNC5D gene (c.1297C>T, p.R433C), which was predicted to have a damage ef...

PURPOSE To study whether there is a difference in central macular thickness (CMT) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness between the two eyes of individuals having anisometropia >1 diopter (D) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and one subjects, 31 with myopic anisometropia, 28 with astigmatic anisometropia, and 42 ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship of anisometropia with unilateral amblyopia, interocular acuity difference (IAD), and stereoacuity among Head Start preschoolers using both clinical notation and vector notation analyses. DESIGN Multicenter, cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Three- to 5-year-old participants in the Vision in Preschoolers (VIP) study (n = 4040). METHODS Secondary analy...

PURPOSE To determine the association between ocular dominance and degree of myopia in patients with anisometropia. METHODS Fifty-five subjects with anisometropic myopia were recruited. None of them had amblyopia. Refractive error and axial length were measured in each subject. Ocular dominance was determined using the hole-in-the-card test and convergence near-point test. RESULTS There was ...

PURPOSE To determine prescribing practices of pediatric ophthalmologists for astigmatism and astigmatic anisometropia in infants and young children. METHODS A survey was sent to the 700 North American AAPOS members listed in the 2004 web site directory. RESULTS A total of 412/700 surveys (59%) were returned. The level of astigmatism at which pediatric ophthalmologists prescribe eyeglasses f...
