Abstract

Purpose: To compare the macula and cental cornea thickness (CCT) between amblyopic and normal eyes in patients with unilateral amblyopia. Material and Method: This study included 28 eyes of 14 patients with unilateral amblyopia with no history of corneal and retinal disease, glaucoma or ocular surgery.The macular thickness was measured by using optic coherens tomography and CCT was measured with ultrasonic pachymeter. Statistical analyses were performed by using Mann-Whitney U and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Mean macular thickness was 230.36±66.83 in amblyopic eyes and 190.43±57.77 in normal eyes. The macular thickness was greater in amblyopic eyes than normal eyes; but there was no statistically significant difference between amblyopic and normal eyes (p=0.148). Mean CCT was 551.50±27.51 in amblyopic eyes and 547.79±26.98 in normal eyes, and there was no significant difference in respect to the CCT between amblyopic and normal eyes (p=0.629). Conclusion: The amblyopic process may cause the alterations of macular thickness; but, it can not effect the corneal thickness, and it is not exactly known the results of amblyopia on eye.

Özet

Amaç: Tek taraflı ambliyopisi olan bireylerde, sağlam ve ambliyop gözlerin maküla ve santral korneal kalınlıklarının (SSK) karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma tek taraflı ambliyopisi bulunan ve herhangi bir kornea ve retina hastalığı, glokom ve geçirilmiş göz cerrahisi hikayesi bulunmayan 14 hastanın 28 gözünü içermektedir. Sağlam ve ambliyop gözlerinin maküla kalınlıklarının ölçümü optik kohorens tomografi ile ve santral korneal kalınlıklarının ölçümü ise ultrasonografik pakimetri yöntemi ile yapıldı. Elde edilen sonuçlar Mann- Whitney U testi ile istatisitiki olarak karşılaştırıldı ve p<0.05 anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Ambliyop gözlerde ortalama maküla kalınlığı 230.36±66.83 μ ve sağlam gözlerde 190.43±57.77 μ olarak bulundu. Ambliyop gözlerin maküla kalınlığı sağlam gözlere göre daha fazla bulunmasına rağmen, aradaki fark istatiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.148). Ortalama santral kornea kalınlığı ise, ambliyop gözlerde 551.50±27.51 μ ve sağlam gözlerde 547.79±26.98 μ olarak ölçüldü ve gözler arasında SKK karşılaştırmasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p=0.629). Tartışma: Ambliyopik süreç maküla kalınlığında değişikliklere neden olabilmektedir; ancak, kornea kalınlığını etkilememektedir ve bu sürecin gözün gelişimi üzerindeki sonuçları halen tam olarak bilinememektedir.
