Purpose.
To assess the correlations between the retinal/choroidal structure and the treatment outcomes of amblyopic children.
Methods.
This study enrolled eyes with amblyopia resulting from strabismus, anisometropia, or ametropia.
All patients underwent detailed eye examinations, including spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scan.
All of the subjects received amblyopic treatment and were divided into 2 groups after 6 months of follow-up: the recovered amblyopic group with a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥0.8 and the persistent amblyopic group with a BCVA <0.8 on the Landolt C chart.
Results.
Forty-four amblyopic children were included, of which 26 were in the recovered amblyopic group after 6 months of follow-up.
The patients with strabismic anisometropic amblyopia and severe amblyopia (initial VA ≤ 0.3) were significantly predisposed to developing persistent amblyopia (P=0.049 and P<0.001, respectively).
After correcting with Littmann’s formula, the thickness and volume of the parafoveal and perifoveal retinal regions in the persistent amblyopia group did not show significant differences with the recovered amblyopia group.
Conclusions.
The initial severity of amblyopia and the type of amblyopia were the risk factors related to the poor outcome of amblyopic treatment.
The foveal thickness, foveal volume, and choroidal thickness were not associated with the treatment outcome.
