Visual acuity and color vision deficiency in amblyopia.

Eur J Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology, S.B. Ankara Hospital, Turkey.

Published: April 2000

Purpose: To investigate color vision and its relation with the type of amblyopia and visual acuity of amblyopic eyes.

Methods: In this prospective study, 67 amblyopic eyes of 64 patients, aged from 4 to 13 years (mean 6.8 +/- 2.1) and 26 eyes of 13 control subjects aged from 5 to 13 years (mean 7.3 +/- 1.6) were examined with the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test (FM-100). Amblyopic eyes were grouped as strabismic (21 eyes) and anisometropic (46 eyes). Each group was subdivided according to their visual acuity, as less than 5/10 and 6/10 or better. The total errors, blue-yellow (B-Y) and red-green (R-G) partial error scores were obtained for each group. One-way ANOVA was used to assess differences between groups.

Results: The error scores of all axes were lower in the control group than the amblyopic groups (p<0.001), but the differences within amblyopic groups were not significant (p>0.05).

Conclusions: Deficient color vision in the amblyopic eyes was not related to the visual acuity and type of amblyopia.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of evolving treatment paradigms for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) by comparing outcomes between two patient cohorts treated with different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) regimens over a decade apart.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 200 treatment-naive nAMD patients divided into two cohorts. Cohort 1 (2009-2010) was treated with a pro re nata (PRN) regimen, involving three initial monthly injections followed by as-needed treatments based on monthly monitoring.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether the digital eye strain (DES) was associated with the low central corneal thickness (CCT).

Methods: This observational cross-sectional pilot study was conducted from April 2023 to October 2023 at a tertiary eye care centre in North India, where CCT values were compared between subjects with DES and those without DES. Two hundred and eighty subjects (n = 280) aged 15-40 years with clear corneas and lenses were initially included in this study.
