Title: Wavefront aberration in children with refraction amblyopia
Abstract: Objective To study the characteristics and role of wavefront aberrations in children with refractive amblyopia.Methods 83 children with refractive amblyopia were involved.After using 1% atropine ointment,once a day for three!days,optometry was determined by retinoscopy optometry and computer optometry,then after 20 days the wavefront aberrations were determined by the Allegretto wavefront analyzer.The characteristics and disturbances of all kinds of high order wavefront aberrations in amblyopia patients of refraction error were observed,and the relationship between amblyopia and wavefront aberration was also observed.Result The total root mean square(RMS)values were significantly related to the refractive power in diopters(P0.05),and the aberrations of trefoil,coma and sperical increased with an increase of the astigmatism power.Conclusion Aberrations increase with an increase of refractive power in diopters and astigmatism is significantly related to high aberrations.Analysis of high order aberrations is helpful in discovering the cause of refractive astigmatism.
