Abstract

We investigated the effect of age at initial correction, of 44 refractive amblyopic patients duration of correction on corrected visual acuity with the lapse of time for mean 33months(3months-59months). Full cycloplegic corrections were prescribed at the initial visit to all subjects. The distribution of initial corrected visual acuity was 0.02 to 0.5. Age at initial correction varied from 3 years to 12 years. The refractive error appeared to have the greatest influence on the visual outcome, showing continuous visual improvement after initial correction. But the age at initial correction did not appear to influence on the initial and final corrected visual acuity showed a significant difference, irrespective of age at the initial correction Or degree of anisometropia.

약사 환자 44명에 대해 굴절성약시의 초기 굴절교정시의 나이, 굴절이상에 따른 교정시력의 정도 그리고 안경착용 후 시력교정 효과를 시간에 따라 알아보았으며, 평균 33개월 (3-59개월)동안 관찰하였다. 이들의 초기 굴절교정 직후 시력은 0.02에서 0.5였으며 안경을 처음 착용한 나이의 분포는 3세에서 12세까지였다. 안경처방이 모든 나이에서 교정시력 향상에 영향을 주어 최종교정시력은 초기 교정시보다 향상되었으나, 치료시작 나이가 초기교정시력과 최종교정시력에 영향을 주지 않았다.
