Implication

Randomized trial evaluates choroidal changes in amblyopic children, suggesting potential biomarkers for monitoring.

Key Points

  • To compare choroidal vascular index and optical coherence tomography parameters between amblyopic and healthy eyes.
  • Included 40 children with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia and 40 matched healthy controls.
  • Measured best-corrected visual acuity, axial length, central macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, superficial and deep vascular density, foveal avascular zone, and choroidal vascular index.
  • Statistical comparisons were made between amblyopic and control groups.
  • Axial length was significantly shorter in amblyopic eyes compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001).
  • Choroidal vascular index was significantly lower in amblyopic eyes (p = 0.012 vs healthy; p = 0.024 vs control).
  • Superficial vascular density decreased in amblyopic eyes (p = 0.001 for both comparisons), while deep vascular density and foveal avascular zone showed no differences.
