title: Pupillography of relative afferent pupillary defects in amblyopia associated with peripapillary myelinated nerve fibers and myopia.
abstract: Pupillary responses to light were recorded in three patients with unilateral extensive myelinated nerve fibers and amblyopia by means of binocular infrared video pupillography. All of the patients had an afferent pupillary defect in the eye with myelinated nerve fibers. This finding supports the notion that this type of amblyopia is a severe form of anisometropic amblyopia that is often resistant to treatment.
