Microvascular changes in amblyopic eyes detected by optical coherence tomography angiography
Journal of AAPOS Apr 22, 2019
Karabulut M, et al. - A total of 23 amblyopic (strabismic, ametropic, anisometropic, and meridional amblyopia) and 22 normal eyes were examined to review the retinal microvascular findings identified by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in this prospective observational, comparative study. Although the difference was not statistically significant, the mean FAZ area was smaller in the amblyopic group. Significantly wider outer retina flow area was also reported in the amblyopic group. They also noted the thicker fovea in the amblyopic group. In amblyopic eyes in all quadrants excluding the fovea, vessel density (VD) in both the superficial and deep retinal plexus was significantly lower. They also observed significantly higher VD in anisometropic amblyopic eyes (in amblyopic subgroups) as compared to other subgroups in both superficial and deep retinal plexuses at all regions excluding the fovea.
