SD: standard deviation. The worse eye of the children with bilateral amblyopia was used in the analysis. Unless otherwise indicated, data are given as the mean ± standard deviation. † value calculated after correcting using Littmann’s formula. Images of good quality, as determined by a clear choroid-sclera interface, were used in the analysis ().
