PURPOSE This study was conducted to investigate the role of the pattern visual evoked potential (pVEP) as a predictor of occlusion therapy for patients with strabismic, anisometropic, and isometropic amblyopia. The secondary aim was to compare the characteristics of pVEP between strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS This retrospective comparative case series included 120 patients wh...

Contour integration was measured in a group of anisometropic amblyopes to test the idea recently put forward that positional uncertainty sets a fundamental limit to contour integration in amblyopia. Anisometropic amblyopia, unlike strabismic amblyopia, has little or no positional uncertainty once the initial filtering loss has been taken into account. Therefore, according to the explanation put...

. to investigate the effect of anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia on the nerve fiber layer thickness. this cross-sectional study was done on 54 amblyopic subjects, equally in both strabismic and anisometropic groups. the thickness otonerve fiber layer measured in superior, inferior, nasal, temporal quadrants and as a whole in both eyes of both groups. the means of thickness were compared in...

Objectives To evaluate the risk factors for strabismus in patients with anisometropia by comparing degree of anisometropia, depth of amblyopia, and binocular visual function in anisometropic patients with and without strabismus. Materials and Methods Sixty-five anisometropic patients older than 5 years with amblyopia in one eye who were followed in the Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, D...

PURPOSE Several behavioral studies have shown that the reaction times of visually guided movements are slower in people with amblyopia, particularly during amblyopic eye viewing. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the initiation of smooth pursuit eye movements, which are responsible for accurately keeping moving objects on the fovea, is delayed in people with anisometropic amblyopia. METHODS...

OBJECTIVE To report successful therapy for anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia initiated after age 7 years. METHODS A consecutive series of 36 compliant children older than 7 years (range, 7.0 to 10.3 years; mean, 8.2 years) at initiation of amblyopia therapy for anisometropic (19 patients; mean age, 8.3 years), strabismic (9 patients; mean age, 8.0 years), or anisometropic and strabismic ...

Aim: To identify which factors influence the final visual acuity in children with anisometropic amblyopia. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 112 children with anisometropic amblyopia, identified from examining all case notes of children who had failed preschool or school screening. Results: The age at presentation had no effect on the final visual outcome (p=0.804). Both the degree of refrac...

Purpose To compare visual acuity improvement between continuous and split part-time occlusion for the treatment of moderate and severe anisometropic amblyopia. Methods Randomised clinical trials in 6 - 13 y.o children with moderate and severe anisometropic amblyopia. Each patient was consecutively selected with continuous or split part-time occlusion. Best corrected visual acuity's improvemen...

AIM To study the frequency of amblyogenic factors in patients with congenital ptosis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 114 eyes of 100 patients with congenital ptosis more than 1 year old were included. Amblyopia was defined as best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) less than 10/10 or a difference between the two eyes of at least 2/10. In patients too young to be measured by the linear Sne...
