The foveal reflex in amblyopia.
The relative brightness of the foveal reflex between amblyopic eyes and their fellows was examined. Differences in reflex appearances were found in some patients but not in others. Equal appearance of the foveal reflexes does not eliminate the possibility of amblyopia, nor is there a difference in appearance related to the degree of amblyopia.
