SD: standard deviation. 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 (). In children with bilateral amblyopia, the worse eye was considered to be the amblyopic eye and the other eye was considered to be the dominant fellow eye.
