Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previous research revealed that the majority of children with anisometropic amblyopia have asymmetrical accommodation. Only 19% (5\/26) had symmetrical accommodation, 58% (15\/26) had aniso-accommodation and 23% (6\/26) had anti-accommodation. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine if the type of accommodation response was associated with a poor amblyopia treatment outcome in the same patients.<\/p>\n

Methods: <\/strong><\/p>\n

The type of accommodation response of 26 children with anisometropic amblyopia was determined in a previous study. The final visual acuity (VA) in the amblyopic eye, post amblyopia treatment, was compared between those with symmetrical, aniso- and anti-accommodation.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a significant difference in final VA between the 3 accommodation groups (p = 0.023). The anisometropic amblyopes with anti-accommodation had the poorest final VA (0.42 \u00b10.25 (\u00b195% CI) logMAR) with a statistically significant difference when compared to those with aniso-accommodation (0.14 \u00b10.08 logMAR; p = 0.023). However the difference failed to reach significance when compared to those with symmetrical accommodation (0.20 \u00b10.12 logMAR; p = 0.234), probably due to the small sample size. The initial VA in the amblyopic eye and the degree of anisometropia were also significantly positively correlated with final VA (both p < 0.001).<\/p>\n

Conclusions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The presence of anti-accommodation in anisometropic amblyopia was associated with a poorer amblyopia treatment outcome. The initial VA in the amblyopic eye and the degree of anisometropia were also associated with a poorer treatment outcome. It is possible that all these factors are associated but further research is required to determine causal relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
