Aim: A study was carried out to determine if the presence of microtropia with identity is a reliable indicator for the presence of amblyopia, and likely need for occlusion, following optical treatment in "straight-eyed" anisometropic children.
Method: A retrospective case note review was carried out of all children referred from Orthoptic school vision screening during a 10-year period. Children who had unequal visual acuity, no manifest strabismus and who were prescribed spectacles to correct anisometropia (inter-ocular difference one dioptre or more in any meridian) were included in the study.
