Abstract
Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness by Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Unilateral Amblyopia
Highlights
Anatomy of visual pathway The visual pathway [fig.1] consists of the groups of cells and synapses that carry visual input from the eye to the brain and process the information
The fibers leave the lateral geniculate nucleus as the optic radiations that end in the visual cortex of the occipital lobe fibers terminate in the calcarine fissure
Classification Strabismic amblyopia: one of the most common etiological cause of amblyopia which develops in the deviating eye of a child with strabismus, which is thought to be a result of inhibitory interaction between neurons carrying no fusible information from the two eyes
Summary
Anatomy of visual pathway The visual pathway [fig.1] consists of the groups of cells and synapses that carry visual input from the eye to the brain and process the information. Classification Strabismic amblyopia: one of the most common etiological cause of amblyopia which develops in the deviating eye of a child with strabismus , which is thought to be a result of inhibitory interaction between neurons carrying no fusible information from the two eyes This will result in the domination of visual centers in the cortex by the input from the fixating eye, at the same time the deviating eye will suffer from reduced cortical responsiveness. RESULTS: Distribution of study patients according to the difference in NFLT between the normal and amblyopic eyes
