Anisometropic Amblyopic Patients;

Abstract

Objectives: To compare the status of stereopsis in anisometropic amblyopicpatients of 11-30 years of age and the type of anisometropic amblyopia associated with deficientBSV in patients of Eye OPD of Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Study design: Descriptive crosssectional study Setting: Eye OPD, Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Duration: From August 2015to August 2016. Materials and Methods: Two hundred (200) patients were selected for thestudy. Computor software SPSS version 16 was used to analyze the data. Categorical data waspresented as frequencies and percentages and numerical data presented as mean ± standarddeviation. Results: Frequency of anisometropic amblyopia is relatively higher in age groups 26-30. Age group 11-15, 16-20 and 21-25 have relatively low rate of amblyopia due to anisometropia.P = 0.000 a significant value. Conclusion: Frequency and severity of anisometropia in thisclinical sample from the Eye OPD of Shalamar Hospital, Lahore that increased as the level ofametropia increased. Both spherical ametropia and astigmatism were independently associatedwith anisometropia. Furthermore, both Spherical and cylindrical anisometropic amblyopia areindependently associated with deficient BSV. Simple hypermetropic amblyopia was the mostcommon cause associate with deficient BSV. The commonly affected age group in our studywas 25-30 year.
