Purpose: To investigate the differences in macular and nevre fiber layer thicknesses between amblyopic and fellow eyes. Method: One hundred and twenty two eyes of 61 patients were enrolled for this study. All patients underwent complete ocular examination, cover test, prism test and also RNFL, macular thickness measurements (CMT; central macular thickness, TMT; total macular thickness) were obtained with OCT. 61 amblyopic (30 strabismic, 31 anisometropic) eyes and 61 fellow eyes were compared. A comparison of all amblyopic eyes versus fellow eyes was conducted. Amblyopic subgroups were also compared with both each other and fellow eyes, respectively. Results: There was slightly elevated RNFL in strabismic group comparing to anisometropic group, but the difference was not significant. The strabismic group had both lower v.. View More»
