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.
