Brief Summary

The study will be conducted in children with amblyopia attending the outpatientdepartment and Paediatric Ophthalmology Clinic in Guru Nanak Eye Centre.A total of 60 eyes will be included in the study.They will be divided into threegroups (20 eyes in each group). Group1- Amblyopic Eyes,Group2-  Fellow Eyes, Group3- Control Eyes.The Study Time is one year.UsingOCTA (RS-3000 LITE advanced (NIDEK)following parameters will be evaluated-

1. Foveal Avascular Zone Measurements (mm2)

2.Macular Vessel density percentage of SCP scan

3.Macular Vessel density percentage of DCP scan

Using OCT(Revo 60 Optipol) following parameters will be evaluated-

1.CentralMacular Thickness (µm)

2.  Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fibre Layerthickness(µm)
