A Meta-Analysis of Choroidal Thickness Changes in Unilateral Amblyopia

Figure 2

Pooled estimates for all studies comparing SFCT in the amblyopic eye with the fellow eye and the normal control eyes. (a) The amblyopic eye versus the fellow eye. (b) The amblyopic eye versus the control eye. (c) Fellow versus control. (d) Amblyopic type subgroup analysis when the amblyopic eye is compared to the fellow eye. The SFCT of the amblyopic eye was thicker than that of both the fellow and the control eyes, both in the overall and in the subgroups (AL matched/not). The results for the amblyopic type subgroup analysis were the same as for the axial length subgroup analysis. Note: weights are from random effects analysis.
