Evaluation of nutritional status in children with amblyopia

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 82 (2), 2019
ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to compare the body mass index and vitamin and mineral status of children with and without amblyopia. Methods: Amblyopic children aged between 5 and 18 years (n=46) and age-matched control children (n=32) were evaluated in terms of anthropometric parameters, including height,...

Dysfunction in the fellow eyes of strabismic and anisometropic amblyopic children assessed by visually evoked potentials

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate visual acuity and transient pattern reversal (PR) visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in the fellow eyes of children with strabismic and/or anisometropic amblyopia. Methods: Children diagnosed with strabismic and/or anisometropic amblyopia were recruited for electrophysiologic...

Amblyopia: neural basis and therapeutic approaches

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Abnormalities in visual processing caused by visual deprivation or abnormal binocular interaction may induce amblyopia, which is characterized by reduced visual acuity. Occlusion therapy, the conventional treatment, requires special attention as occlusion of the fellow normal eye may reduce its ...

Higher order aberrations in amblyopic children and their role in refractory amblyopia

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 73 (6), 2014
Objective: Some studies have hypothesized that an unfavourable higher order aberrometric profile could act as an amblyogenic mechanism and may be responsible for some amblyopic cases that are refractory to conventional treatment or cases of “idiopathic” amblyopia. This study compared the aber...

Experimental study of amblyopia in cats

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 49 (2), 1986
Objetivou-se o estudo da resposta cortical à estimulaçäo com dois "flashes" consecutivos, com intervalos decrescentes, em 10 gatos de 7 meses de idade, nos quais se produziu estrabismo convergente do olho direito na segunda semana após o nascimento.
