Abstract Amblyopia is a decrease of vision, either in one eye or both eyes, for which no organic cause can be found by physical examination of the eye. The term functional amblyopia often is used to describe amblyopia, which is potentially reversible by occlusion therapy. Organic amblyopia refers to irreversible. Myopic anisometropia is less amblyogenic than hypermetropic anisometropia as there is no significant anisometropic amblyopia unless differences between the two eyes are greater than +1.50 D in hyperopes and greater than -3.00 D in myopes. The study included 18 patients with anisometropic amblyopia, 9 of them have hypermetropic amblyopia & the remaining patients have myopic amblyopia. All of the patients are subjected to full ophthalmological examination & measuring the foveal & parafoveal thickness of the retina of the normal & the amblyopic eye using the OTI/SLO OCT device. Summary 85 Reults showed that most of the patients have significant increased foveal & parafoveal thickness in most of the patients subjected to the study. |
