To compare the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness of amblyopic and fellow eyes. We hypothesized that the RNFL of the amblyopic eye may be thinner.
Prospective, cross-sectional, observational case series.
Optical coherence tomography of the peripapillary RNFL thickness of amblyopic and fellow eyes was performed in 37 patients 7 to 12 years of age (mean age +/- standard deviation, 9.2 +/- 1.5 years) with unilateral strabismic, anisometropic, or combined-mechanism amblyopia enrolled in a randomized treatment trial.
Mean global RNFL thickness of the amblyopic and fellow eyes was 111.4 and 109.6 microm, respectively (mean difference, 1.8 microm thicker in the amblyopic eyes; 95% confidence interval, -0.6 to 4.3 microm). The amblyopic eye was 8 microm or more thicker than the fellow eye in 9 patients (24%); the fellow eye was 8 microm or more thicker than the amblyopic eye in 2 patients (5%); and the difference was within test-retest variability (7 microm) in 26 patients (70%).
Our findings do not indicate that peripapillary RNFL thickness is thinner in eyes with moderate amblyopia compared with their fellow eyes.
比较弱视眼和对侧眼的视乳头周围视网膜神经纤维层(RNFL)厚度。我们假设弱视眼的RNFL可能较薄。
前瞻性、横断面观察性病例系列研究。
对37例年龄在7至12岁(平均年龄±标准差,9.2±1.5岁)的单侧斜视性、屈光参差性或混合机制性弱视患者进行随机治疗试验,对其弱视眼和对侧眼的视乳头周围RNFL厚度进行光学相干断层扫描。
弱视眼和对侧眼的平均整体RNFL厚度分别为111.4微米和109.6微米(平均差异,弱视眼厚1.8微米;95%置信区间,-0.6至4.3微米)。9例患者(24%)的弱视眼比对侧眼厚8微米或更多;2例患者(5%)的对侧眼比弱视眼厚8微米或更多;26例患者(70%)的差异在重测变异性(7微米)范围内。
我们的研究结果并不表明中度弱视眼的视乳头周围RNFL厚度比对侧眼薄。
