Slow reading in children with anisometropic amblyopia is associated with gaze instability and increased saccades

Abstract

Previous studies have reported slow reading in strabismic amblyopia. We recently identified amblyopia, not strabismus, as the key factor in slow reading in children. To date, no studies have focused on reading in amblyopic children without strabismus. Here, we assessed whether amblyopic eye visual acuity, stereoacuity, and eye movements were related to slow reading in children with anisometropic amblyopia.
