Abstract

For the prevention of amblyopia, early discover and treatment is very important. Therefore we evaluated the type and the degree of refractive errors of 39 children with anisometropic and refractive amblyopia aged 3 to 12 years, and studied the relationship of astigmatism and amblyopia. Astigmatism was found in 35 of 39 eyes. Of these 35 eyes, with the rule astigmatism was found in 30 eyes. The cylinderical power was distributed mostly from 0.50D to 6.50D and astigmatism did not appear to influence on the initial and final corrected visual acuity.

약시를 예방하기위해서는 조기발견과 치료가 매우 중요하다. 따라서 굴절성 또는 부동시성 약시를 가진 3세에서 12세에 이르는 39명의 환아를 대상으로 굴절이상 정도와 종류, 그리고 난시와 약시와의 관계에 대해서 연구하였다. 39안의 약시중에서 35안에서 난시가 있었는데 그 중 대부분인 30안에 직난시가 있었다. 난시도는 0.5D-6.5D의 분포를 보였는데 약시에서 난시도는 초기교정시력과 최종교정시력에 영향을 주지 않는 결과를 보였다.
