To look for a correlation between or the effect of anisometropia amblyopia on retrobulbar blood flow parameters. Peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) of the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and temporal posterior ciliary artery (tPCA) were measured with color Doppler imaging, and systolic/diastolic ratio, resistivity index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) were computed in 42 patients with anisometropic amblyopia. The mean PSV of OA, CRA, and tPCA in amblyopic and fellow eyes were 62.
