Unilateral high myopia with anisometropic amblyopia

Dr Rachel R G, Dr Ravi S, Dr P Subba Reddy

Abstract :

 Unilateral high myopia is a very rare entity which is usually missed leading on to severe amblyopia.Anisometropic amblyopia is due to higher degree of refractive error in one eye compared to the fellow eye due to form and vision deprivation. It is the second most common type of amblyopia next to strabismic amblyopia. We report two cases within a family with unilateral myopia with anisometropic amblyopia. Both the cases were missed in early childhood as there were no major signs or symptoms. An underlying genetic defect maybe responsible for this condition and needs further evaluation.
