Evaluation of Corneal Optic Quality in Amblyopia

Objective: To compare corneal aberrations and densitometry values in children with amblyopia due to anisometropic hyperopia with those of healthy children. Methods: This study included 173 children with amblyopia due to hyperopic anisometropia in one eye and 173 children with both healthy eyes. The amblyopic eye (Group 1) and the fellow normal eye (Group 2) of the amblyopic patients and the right eye of the healthy control group (Group 3) were evaluated. Of the corneal aberration and corneal densitometry (CD) measured using Scheimpflug corneal topography values were noted. Results: While there was a significant difference in total root mean square (RMS), higher-order aberration (HOA) RMS, coma horizontal, trefoil horizontal and spherical aberration values between the groups (p

Ambliyopide Korneal Optik Kalitenin Değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Anizometropik hipermetropiye bağlı ambliyopili çocuklarda korneal aberasyonları ve dansitometri değerlerini sağlıklı çocuklarla karşılaştırmak. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya bir gözünde hipermetropik anizometropiye bağlı ambliyopi olan 173 çocuk ve her iki gözü sağlıklı 173 çocuk dahil edildi. Ambliyopik hastaların ambliyopik gözü (Grup 1), diğer normal gözü (Grup 2) ve sağlıklı kontrol grubunun sağ gözü (Grup 3) değerlendirildi. Scheimpflug korneal topografi kullanılarak ölçülen korneal aberasyon ve korneal dansitometri değerleri not edildi. Sonuçlar: Gruplar arasında toplam kök ortalama kare, yüksek dereceli aberasyon kök ortalama kare, koma yatay, trefoil yatay ve sferik aberasyon değerlerinde anlamlı farklılık varken (p
