Anomalous Vascular Patterns of the Optic Disc in Amblyopia.

Purpose: To evaluate the presence of anomalies of the optic disc vascular patterns in subjects with amblyopia.

Design: Case controlled study. The outcome measure is temporal deviation of central retinal vessels and / or vascular pattern asymmetry.

Optic disc area and retinal area in amblyopia.

Purpose: To compare retinal area to optic disc rim area ratios of hyperopic normal, strabismic eyes with equal acuity, amblyopic, and fellow eyes.

Methods: Neuroretinal rim areas of 293 amblyopic and fellow eyes, and 77 non-amblyopic hyperopic right eyes, and 84 non-amblyopic strabismic right eyes were measured by magnification corrected retinal photography and planimetry. Retinal area estimates were based on axial lengths.

Retinal area and optic disc rim area in amblyopic, fellow, and normal hyperopic eyes: a hypothesis for decreased acuity in amblyopia.

Purpose: Defects in visual functions in amblyopic eyes may have a neuroretinal explanation. The retinal area to optic disc rim area ratios of hyperopic normal, amblyopic, and fellow eyes were evaluated.

Design: Case-controlled study.
