Materials and methods: In total 53 subjects (17.8 +/- 11.0 years, mean +/- SD) with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia (AE) and 53 age-matched controls (17.7 +/- 11.0 years) were included in this prospective study. Each subject underwent a dilated eye examination, cycloplegic refraction and axial length (AL) measurement using Nidek AL-Scan optical biometer (Nidek CO, Aichi, Japan). The CT of subfoveal area and at a radius of 1 and 3mm around the fovea was determined using the enhanced depth imaging program of a SD-OCT (Cirrus HD OCT, Carl-Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). CT, AL and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) of the amblyopic eyes were compared to that of the fellow and control eyes. Results: The mean subfoveal CTwas 305.6 +/- 26.0 mm in the amblyopic eyes, 282.6 +/- 30.7 mm in the fellow eyes and 280.1 +/- 8.8 in the control eyes. The subfoveal choroid in amblyopic eyes was significantly thicker than that of the fellow eyes and control eyes (p<0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between the subfoveal CT and the AL in amblyopic (r=-0.298, p=0.03) eyes but not in the control and fellow eyes. Conclusions: The subfoveal choroid of eyes with hyperopic AE is significantly thicker than that of the fellow eye and the age-matched controls. Hence, CT seems to be effected in AE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAmblyopia; choroidal thickness; enhanced depth imaging; hyperopic anisometropia; optical coherence tomographyArticle10.3109/02713683.2014.971933401010631067253798032-s2.0-84941415670Q1WOS:000361327500012Q2
