Optic nerve head topographic analysis and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in strabismic and anisometropic amblyopia

Ann Ophthalmol (Skokie). 2007 Winter;39(4):291-5. doi: 10.1007/s12009-007-9014-z.

Abstract

We compared the optic nerve head topography and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness of the strabismic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes with the normal fellow eyes and age-matched controls and concluded that, although amblyopia is a functional visual loss, RNFL thickness and optic nerve head topographic changes in strabismic and anisometropic amblyopic eyes may be affected by amblyopia. Further histopathological and clinic confirmations are needed.
