Article Synopsis
- - This study examined choroidal thickness in children with unilateral strabismic amblyopia using SD-EDI-OCT, comparing 25 affected children to 20 healthy peers to assess ocular differences.
- - Findings revealed that while the mean choroidal thickness in the amblyopic children was similar in both affected and fellow eyes, it was significantly thicker in both when compared to control eyes across various measurements.
- - A negative correlation was found between subfoveal choroidal thickness and axial length, but no links were established between thickness and age or visual acuity.
