title: Myelinated nerve fibers and severe myopia.
abstract: Two 4-year-old boys, one white and one black, had unilateral extensive myelinization of retinal nerve fibers associated with severe myopia, esotropia, and amblyopia. The finding of unilateral extensive myelinization of the nerve head and retinal fibers in a child may indicate a potentially remediable anisometropic amblyopia.
