The long-term observation in Chinese children with monocular myelinated retinal nerve fibers, myopia and amblyopia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The syndrome of monocular myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF), myopia and amblyopia threatens visual development of infants and young children. The efficacy of part-time occlusion therapy remains controversial, and the long-term prognosis of the syndrome remains unclear.

Methods

Ten children (4.40±2.22 years, 4 boys and 6 girls) with monocular MRNF, myopia and amblyopia were recruited. Both the affected eyes (treatment group) and the fellow eyes (control group) underwent routine ophthalmic examinations, including AL, cycloplegic refraction, best-spectacles-corrected distance visual acuity (BSCDVA), cover test, simultaneous perception, corneal curvature, anterior segment and fundus examinations. Refractive error was corrected by either spectacles or rigid gas pe
