Comparison between anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia using functional magnetic resonance imaging

Table 2

p Value of percentage of functional MRI signal between amblyopic eye or defocused eye and sound eye in amblyopes

Spatial frequency (cycles/degree)
0.25 0.5 1 2
Anisometropic amblyopia Amb and sound 0.12 0.01 0.01 0.01
Defocused and sound 0.37 0.43 0.07 0.45
Strabismic amblyopia Amb and sound 0.03 0.01 0.01 0.08
Defocused and sound 0.11 0.08 0.32 0.24
Temporal frequency (Hz)
2 4 8 16
Anisometropic amblyopia Amb and sound 0.06 0.02 0.02 0.06
Strabismic amblyopia Amb and sound 0.17 0.24 0.24 0.28
  • Amb and sound = p value between amblyopic eyes and sound eyes.

  • Defocused and sound = p value between sound eyes defocused with optical blur and sound eyes.
