Objective: To compare macular and retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses of the normal fellow eye to that of the amblyopic eye using optical coherence tomography in patients with anisometropic amblyopia.Methods and Material: 18 patients with anisometropic amblyopia were included. Patients were divided into two groups: nine hyperopic and nine myopic. Best corrected visual acuity, refraction, retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thicknesses were measured.Results: The mean macular thickness of all anisometropic patients was 195 (±20.8) µm and (171±45.8) µm, and the mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was 101.50 (±15.23) and 102.61 (±11.48), in the amblyopic eye and the normal eye, respectively. There was no significant difference between eyes in either macular or retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. Also there was no significant difference in two parameters in myopic and hyperopic group.Conclusions: No difference between the macular and retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses was established in anisometropic amblyopia. Further evaluation is needed.
