Effect of optical correction on choroidal structure in children with anisohypermetropic amblyopia

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases Apr 28, 2020

Nishi T, Ueda T, Mizusawa Y, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to evaluate the impact of wearing optical correction on the choroidal structure in eyes of children with anisohypermetropic amblyopia. This investigation was carried out at the Nara Medical University Hospital and at the Tokushima University Hospital. Twenty-nine anisohypermetropic amblyopic eyes and their fellow eyes of 29 amblyopic patients (mean age, 5.7 ± 1.7 years, range 3- to 8-years) and 20 eyes of 20 age-similar control children (4.9 ± 0.8 years, range 4- to 6-years) have been analyzed. According to findings, wearing corrective lenses on the amblyopic eyes improves the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and the amblyopic eye choroidal structure is similar to that of the control eyes. The narrowed luminal area is a particular amblyopic eye response associated with the correction of the refractive error. The larger stromal area at the baseline in the amblyopic eyes is a predictive factor for BCVA improvements.
