%X ltifocal visual evoked potentials in amblyopia due to anisometropia Original Research (3384) Total Article Views Authors: MM Moschos, I Margetis, S Tsapakis, et al Published Date July 2010 Volume 2010:4 Pages 849 - 853 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/OPTH.S11762 MM Moschos, I Margetis, S Tsapakis, G Panagakis, IK Chatzistephanou, E Iliakis Department of Ophthalmology, University of Athens, Greece Purpose: To investigate multifocal visual evoked potentials (mfVEP) of the amblyopic and fellow eye in amblyopia due to anisometropia. Methods: We recorded mfVEP in both eyes of 15 anisometropic amblyopic patients and 15 normal control subjects. The responses from the central 7.0กใ arc of the visual field were measured, and changes in latency and amplitude were compared between the amblyopic, fellow, and normal control eyes. Results: There was a significant difference in the latency and amplitude of mfVEP between the amblyopic and fellow eyes. The responses in the central region of the visual field (rings 1 and 2) had a longer latency and smaller amplitude in the amblyopic eye. In contrast, there was no difference in mfVEP latency or amplitude between the fellow eye and normal control eyes. Conclusion: These results suggest that mfVEP may be used as an alternative objective method for diagnosis and monitoring of anisometropic amblyopia.
