Associations of anisometropia with unilateral amblyopia, interocular acuity difference, and stereoacuity in preschoolers.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the relationship of anisometropia with unilateral amblyopia, interocular acuity difference (IAD), and stereoacuity among Head Start preschoolers using both clinical notation and vector notation analyses.

Design

Multicenter, cross-sectional study.

Participants

Three- to 5-year-old participants in the Vision in Preschoolers (VIP) study (n = 4040).

Methods

Secondary analysis of VIP data from participants who underwent comprehensive eye examinations, including monocular visual acuity testing, stereoacuity testing, and cycloplegic refraction. Visual acuity was retested with full cycloplegic correction when retest criteria were met. Unilateral amblyopia was defined as IAD of 2 lines or more in logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR)
