The assessment of anterior segment parameters using the Sirius topography in adults with anisohypermetropic amblyopia
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate anterior segment parameters in the eyes of adults with anisohypermetropic amblyopia using the Sirius topography device.
Materials and Methods: Forty-eight patients with anisohypermetropic amblyopia were prospectively evaluated along with a control group of 45 healthy patients. All patients were examined with the Sirius topography system under cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic conditions. The anterior and posterior mean keratometry values, central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal volume (CV), and anterior chamber volume (ACV) measurements were compared among groups.
Results: No significant difference was found in the anterior and posterior mean keratometry values, CCT, ACD, CV, and ACV measurements between amblyopic, fellow, and control eyes under cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic conditions (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study shows that the anterior segment parameters measured by the Sirius topography device among amblyopic, fellow, and control eyes do not differ under both cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic conditions.
