Abstract
HERNANDEZ-SANTOS, Lourdes R. et al. Fusion and stereopsis in children with refractive amblyopia. Rev. mex. oftalmol [online]. 2021, vol.95, n.6, pp.252-258. Epub Dec 16, 2021. ISSN 2604-1227. https://doi.org/10.24875/rmo.m21000201.
Objective:
To determine the binocular function in patients with refractive amblyopia.
Method:
Cross-sectional study in patients between 5 and 18 years old with refractive amblyopia treated for the first time in the pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus consultation of the Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer.
Results:
No significant correlation was found between the depth of amblyopia and the magnitude of anisometropia in the right eye (p = 0.217) or in the left eye (p = −0.130), and neither between the magnitude of anisometropia and stereopsis (p = 0.260). Patients with isoametropic amblyopia reached a subnormal stereopsis >100" in 53.3%.
Conclusions:
There is no association between the magnitude of anisometropia and the depth of amblyopia, fusion and stereopsis. In most patients with refractive amblyopia, stereopsis is deteriorated, thus affecting binocular function.
Keywords : Amblyopia; Anisometropia; Isoametropia; Stereopsis; Fusion.
