Asymmetrical accommodation in hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

To investigate the presence of asymmetrical accommodation in hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.

Methods

Accommodation in each eye and binocular vergence were measured simultaneously using a PlusoptiX SO4 photorefractor in 26 children aged 4-8 years with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia and 13 controls (group age-matched) while they viewed a detailed target moving in depth.

Results

Without spectacles, only 5 (19%) anisometropes demonstrated symmetrical accommodation (within the 95% CI of the mean gain of the sound eye of the anisometropic group), whereas 21 (81%) demonstrated asymmetrical accommodation. Of those, 15 (58%) showed aniso-accommodation and 6 (23%) demonstrated 'anti-accommodation' (greater accommodation for distance than for near). In thos
