Comparison of the visual perception test in normal and ametropic amblyopia children / 眼科

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the difference between contrast sensitivity,noise and crowding phenomenon in normal and ametropic amblyopia children. Design Prospective case series. Participants 50 normal children and 50 ametropic amblyopia children. Method Using the noise visual acuity test chart,crowded visual acuity chart and contrast sensitivity visual chart of the visual perception system developed by the National Medical Care Apparatus Engineering Research Center,normal and ametropic amblyopia children were examined in Beijing Tongren Hospital. Main Outcome Measures The number and the constituent ratio of normal and abnormal children in contrast sensitivity,noise and crowding phenomenon. Results The abnormal results of contrast sensitivity in ametropic amblyopia children and normal children were 60 eyes (60%) and 15 eyes (15%) respectively; the abnormal result of noise visual acuity were 62 eyes (62%) and 30 eyes (30%) respectively; the crowded visual acuity were 56 eyes (56%) and 0 eye respectively (all P=0.000). In mild,moderate and severe ametropic amblyopia children,the abnormal results of contrast sensitivity were 32 eyes (51.61%),20 eyes (66.67%) and 8 eyes (100%) respectively (P=0.005),the abnormal results of crowding phenomenon were 30 eyes (48.39%),18 eyes (60%) and 8 eyes (100%) respectively (P=0.010),the abnormal results of noise were 39 eyes (69.90%),18 eyes (60.00%) and 5 eyes (62.5%) respectively (P=0.868). In mild,moderate and severe refractive error children,the abnormal results of contract sensitivity were 33 eyes (70.21%),9 eyes (34.12%) and 17 eyes (62.96%) respectively (P=0.011),the abnormal results of noise were 30 eyes (63.83%),15 eyes (57.69%) and 17 eyes (62.96%) respectively (P=0.868),the abnormal results of crowding phenomenon were 30 eyes (63.83%),11 eyes (42.31%) and 17 eyes (62.96%) respectively (P=0.172). Conclusion Contrast sensitivity,noise and crowding phenomenon in visual perception tests can be used to estimate the impairment of visual perception in amblyopia children.
