Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Purpose: To study the development of amblyopia in ametropic patients. Method: A prospective study is conducted among 63 ametropic patients attending an eye clinic, over a period of one year. Detailed examination including history, visual acuity, subjective and objective refraction, anterior segment examination (ASE) and fundoscopy were recorded. Result: Majority of the amblyopic patients were having Hyperopia and Aniso-hyperopia or Hyperopic astigmatism. Incidence of monocular amblyopia was more in patients as compared to Binocular amblyopia. Conclusion: The Amblyopia is most commonly associated with long-standing ametropia. So early detection of refractive errors and corrections should be prompt from the young age to prevent development of amblyopia.
