Abstract
The purpose of this study is to compare the choroidal thickness CT and ganglion cell complex GCC thickness of the normal fellow eyes and the amblyopic eyes using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography EDIOCT in young Turkish adults with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia Patients with unilateral hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia were enrolled and underwent a full ophthalmological assessment including bestcorrected visual acuity cycloplegic refraction and axial length AL measurements Cirrus EDIOCT was used to obtain subfoveal CT GCC thickness retinal nerve fiber layer RNFL and central macular thickness CMT measurements Comparison was performed between the amblyopic eyes and the normal fellow eyes Fortythree hyperopic anisometropic amblyopic patients were enrolled in this study Mean age of 23 female and 20 male patients was 248 ± 74 years Mean AL was 219 ± 13 and 224 ± 09 mm in amblyopic and fellow eyes respectively P 005 Mean subfoveal CT measurements were 3254 ± 442 and 3179 ± 427 µ in amblyopic and fellow eyes respectively There was no statistically significant difference between the groups P 005 Mean GCC thickness was 838 ± 36 µ in amblyopic eyes and 835 ± 39 µ in the fellow eyes Statistically significant difference was not seen between the groups P 005 Mean RNFL and mean CMT measurements were also similar in two groups P 005 Subfoveal CT CMT RNFL and GCC thickness measurements were not statistically significant between hyperopic anisometropic amblyopic eyes and normal fellow eyes
