ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: To evaluate binocular functions in anisometropic and strabismic anisometropic patients with amblyopia, 30 anisometropic and 25 strabismic anisometropic patients with amblyopia were included in the study. Synoptophore, Titmus and TNO tests were used for evaluation of binocular functions and stereoacuities. Spherical equivalent and Safir and Kulikowski’s root mean square formulae were used as an index of anisometropia. Correlation analysis, the test of significance between pairs, Wilcoxon rank analysis tests were used for statistical analysis. Subnormal binocularity was observed in all cases. Decrease in binocular functions was more in strabismic anisometropic amblyopes when compared with anisometropic amblyopes. As a conclusion, in amblyopic patients, impairment in binocular functions was augmented by the presence of strabismus, in addition to anisometropia.
