Is microtropia a reliable indicator of the presence of amblyopia in anisometropic patients?

CONCLUSION: In this study of 532 four-five year olds, amblyopia did not exist in "straight-eyed" anisometropic children who did not have microtropia with identity. This study suggests that the presence of microtropia with identity is a reliable indicator of the presence of amblyopia, and possible need for occlusion therapy, following optical treatment in "straight-eyed" anisometropic children.
