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. This a cross-sectional observational conducted at R M Kedia Eye Hosp...

PURPOSE To examine the effects of anisometropic amblyopia on the temporal pattern of eye-hand coordination during visually-guided reaching. METHODS Eighteen patients with anisometropic amblyopia and 18 control subjects were recruited. Participants executed reach-to-touch movements toward visual targets under three viewing conditions: binocular, monocular amblyopic eye, and monocular fellow ey...

Aim: To provide an overview of the factors that might influence the success or failure of anisometropic amblyopia treatment. Methods: A literature-based review was conducted using mainly Science Direct. Searches were restricted to English-based publications over the past 10 years, mainly focusing on children before they reach visual maturation. Results: The most common factors considered within...

Direction discrimination thresholds for maximum motion displacement (D(max)) have been previously reported to be abnormal in amblyopic children [Ho, C. S., Giaschi, D. E., Boden, C., Dougherty, R., Cline, R., & Lyons, C. (2005). Deficient motion perception in the fellow eye of amblyopic children. Vision Research, 45, 1615-1627; Ho, C. S., & Giaschi, D. E. (2006). Deficient maximum motion displa...

PURPOSE Impairment of spatiotemporal visual processing is the hallmark of amblyopia, but its effects on eye movements during visuomotor tasks have rarely been studied. Here the authors investigate how visual deficits in anisometropic amblyopia affect saccadic eye movements. METHODS Thirteen patients with anisometropic amblyopia and 13 control subjects participated. Participants executed sacca...

Keywords Amblyopia Anisometropia Corneal refractive surgery Amblyopia is one of the most important reversible eye disorders in children and different treatments are suggested. Early diagnosis and effective treatment in amblyogenic age are important criteria. These critical periods correspond to the period when the child's developing visual system is sensitive to abnormal input caused by stimulu...

PURPOSE In several studies, researchers have found that integration of orientation information along contours defined by Gabor patches is abnormal in patients with strabismus and in untreated patients with anisometropic amblyopia. In this study, the rate and degree of recovery of contour-integration deficits were compared with the recovery of logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution...
