Abstract

We evaluated the type and the degree of refractive errors of 213 eyes in 124 children with anisometropic and refractive amblyopia aged 3 to 12 years. Of 213 eyes examined, the hyperopic refractive amblyopia was found in 51 eyes and the hyperopic astigmatism was seen in 74 eyes. Of 213 eyes examined, the myopic refactive amblyopia was found in 74 eyes. Of these 74 eyes, the simple myopia was seen in 15 eyes and the myopic astigmatism was seen in 61 eyes. Astigmatism was associated with myopia more than hyperopia. Astigmatism was found in 149 of 213 eyes. Of these 149 eyes, with thr rule astigmatism was found in 124 eyes. Of 213 eyes examined, anisometropic amblyopia was found in 49 eyes. The degree of anisometropia was distributed mostly from 1 D to 4 D.
