Research progress in imaging research of amblyopia

Abstract

Ophthalmology is a subject that mainly applying the imaging examination to diagnose. With the development of modern medicine, the study in clinical imaging of ophthalmology has made a great progress recently. Amblyopia is one of the common eye diseases, which usually result in devastating loss of vision. Sum of imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography have been extensively used in the field of amblyopia. Then that contributed to stimulate the development of the related imaging studies. In this article, we summarized and overviewed the rencent progress of clinical imaging studies in various types of amblyopia.
