ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study aimed to evaluate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the quantification of eccentric fixation in amblyopic patients. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
In this study, 14 amblyopic patients and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled. Under non-mydriatic conditions, fixation tests were performed directly using a fixation ophthalmoscope and indirectly using spectral-domain OCT. For evaluations using OCT, the distance between the fovea and the fixation point, which was determined by a cross-sectional image, was measured.RESULTS:
On evaluations of healthy volunteers by OCT, the mean distance between the fixation point and the fovea was 80.4 ± 37.7 µm for the dominant eyes and 63.7 ± 36.4 µm for non-dominant eyes (p = 0.41). In amblyopic patients, on evaluation by OCT, the mean distance between the fixation point and the fovea was 193.8 ± 188.3 µm in amblyopic eyes and 83.5 ± 39.3 µm in paired fellow eyes (p = 0.02). Although OCT could detect eccentric fixation points in all the affected eyes of amblyopic patients, fixation ophthalmoscope was unable to quantify them in 2 of 14 affected eyes.CONCLUSIONS:
Compared with a fixation ophthalmoscope, our method using OCT seems to be superior both in quantification and detection of eccentric fixation in amblyopic patients, without the need for mydriasis.Palavras-chave
