amblyopia/atrophy

The threshold spatial contrast sensitivity was assessed in children with amblyopia, tapetoretinal abiotrophy, and partial atrophy of the optic nerve of different origin. The measurements were carried out at spatial frequencies of 0.5-22 cycle/grad. Tests with white, red, green, and blue arrays

A hand-held stimulator-ophthalmoscope was used to elicit foveal cone electroretinograms (ERGs) from fifteen patients with strabismic amblyopia. The ERGs were in response to a 4 degrees stimulus visualized on the fundus and centred on the fovea throughout testing. Foveal cone ERGs from amblyopic eyes

BACKGROUND Utility of visual impairment caused by amblyopia is important for the cost-effectiveness of screening for amblyopia (lazy eye, prevalence 3-3.5 %). We previously measured decrease of utility in 35-year-old persons with unilateral persistent amblyopia. The current observational

OBJECTIVE Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is regarded as the most common mitochondrial disease. We have previously reported comprehensive population-based epidemiological data on common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations including m.3243A>G, m.8344A>G and large-scale mtDNA deletions in

OBJECTIVE To identify factors that predict which children with amblyopia are at greatest risk of regression of visual acuity (VA) following the cessation of occlusion therapy. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed of 182 children (mean age at cessation of treatment; 5.9+/-1.6 years) who had

OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term vision outcomes of amblyopia treatment in "successfully" compared with "unsuccessfully" treated patients. METHODS Forty-two participants (n=42, mean age 14.8 years, range 10-25 years) were enrolled in the study. Individuals with strabismic or mixed (strabismic

The author examined 20 hypermetropic eyes with functional amblyopia with application of the objectively sciascopically determined diopters and, separately, without such correction, during the investigation of the visual field using Goldmann kinetic light perimetry in photopia. The starting

BACKGROUND In eyes with severe organic defects the question arises if amblyopia therapy makes sense. METHODS Three children are presented in whom despite severe organic eye diseases amblyopia therapy was tried. The first child had a unilateral large macular scar secondary to retinoblastoma

Here, we describe a case in which A-scan ultrasound biometry was used to differentially diagnose the cause of reduced vision in a patient with keratoconus. A patient with keratoconus presented with reduced visual acuity in one eye, not improvable above 6/18 with specialist keratoconus contact lens

We report the case of an 18-year-old male who developed both nutritional amblyopia and night blindness. After nearly a lifetime of consuming a bizarre diet limited to French fries, pretzels, crackers, and carbonated sodas, he had a relatively sudden onset of night blindness and bilateral visual

OBJECTIVE We sought to describe the change in ocular alignment at 2 years after treatment of amblyopia in children younger than 7 years of age at enrollment. METHODS A randomized clinical trial of patching versus atropine for 6 months followed by standard clinical care for 18 months was conducted in
