Abstract

To test the hypothesis that eyes with amblyopia may have thicker retina, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) was investigated in patients with unilateral amblyopia. Thirty-eight patients with unilateral amblyopia were studied. Among them, 20 patients had amblyopia with strabismus and 18 had refractive amblyopia without strabismus. Nineteen of 38 had anisometropia of 2.0 D or more. In addition, 17 patients with anisometropia of 2.0 D or more but without amblyopia were enrolled as control subjects. RNFLT was measured by optical coherence tomography with scan pattern "Nerve Head 2.0R" (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). Average RNFLT was multiplied with their corresponding scan circumferences to estimate the integral values of the total RNFL area (RNFLT(estimated integrals)). In all 38 patients with unilateral amblyopia, the difference in RNFLT and in RNFLT(estimated integrals) between the amblyopic eyes and the normal fellow eyes were statistically significant. Multivariate regression analysis with adjustment for axial length, spherical equivalence, age, and sex indicated significant differences as well. In the group of strabismic amblyopia, the difference in RNFLT and in RNFLT(estimated integrals) between the amblyopic eye...Continue Reading

Cell Atlas of the Human Eye

Constructing a cell atlas of the human eye will require transcriptomic and histologic analysis over the lifespan. This understanding will aid in the study of development and disease. Find the latest research pertaining to the Cell Atlas of the Human Eye here.
