This is a cross-sectional study done in a tertiary eye care centre in 25 children aged 9 to 17 years to compare the blood flow in macular region and retinal and choroidal thickness between the two eyes of children with anisometropia. All children with anisometropia of ≥ 2 D had undergone vision assessment followed by cycloplegic refraction and swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-Angiography. Children were divided into myopic, astigmatic, and hypermetropic anisometropia and compared to the normal eye. Parameters that were considered included central macular thickness (CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (ChT), macular vessel density (MVD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ). There was no difference in CMT between the two eyes, however, there was decreased MVD and increased FAZ in patients with amblyopia. Larger sample size can provide more answers to help prognosticate visual outcome.
