Aim: To examine the characteristics of amblyopia in children aged 5 to 15 years. Material and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Out Patient Department of Ophthalmology in which 2398 children of age 5 to 15 years were evaluated for amblyopia at tertiary care center. Detailed history of patients was taken. Patients with amblyopia of age group 5 to 15 years were included. Slit lamp examination was done for anterior segment assessment. Cycloplegic refraction by streak retinoscope and subjective correction (3 days later)was done in patients with difference in the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between the two eyes of two or more Snellen lines or when best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was less than 6/12 bilaterally. Eye drop Homatropine (2%) was used for cycloplegia. Ocular alignment and fixation with assessment of extraocular movements . Fundus examination was done by indirect ophthalmoscope. Results: The mean age of presentation was 11.06± 1.83 years. 73% of the patients were over 8 years old. Out of a total of 100 patients, 53 (53%) were male and 47 (47%) were female, resulting in a male to female ratio of 1.12:1. A total of 120 eyes belonging to 100 individuals were diagnosed with amblyopia. A majority of patients, namely 56 (56%), had unilateral amblyopia. Out of the total number of patients, 44% were diagnosed with bilateral amblyopia. The majority of children, namely 30 (39%), had anisometropic amblyopia, followed by 38 children (38%) with isometropic amblyopia, and 15 children (15%) with strabismic amblyopia. Out of the total number of patients, only 8 individuals, which accounts for 8% of the sample, exhibited concurrent amblyopia. Conclusion: The majority of individuals with amblyopia appeared at a later stage, with a large percentage having no prior history of therapy. A significant number of patients had anisometropic amblyopia, even those who sought treatment at a later stage.
