[Optical coherent tomography in the diagnosis of amblyopia].

The central retinal area was studied in children with different types of amblyopia, by using optical coherent tomography. The results of the latter performed in 113 (208 eyes) children with different types of amblyopia were analyzed. Amblyopia was found to be characterized by structural changes in the central retinal area, which were more pronounced in its dysbinocular form. In obscurant amblyopia, these changes depended on the remoteness of deprivation. The preliminary results given suggest that the similar studies are promising in choosing an algorithm of treatment for such a severe abnormality as amblyopia.
