title: Comparison of the retinal modulation transfer function between amblyopes successfully corrected and normal subjects.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the retinal modulation transfer function between amblyopes whose visual acuity was corrected to 5.0 and normal subjects at the same age.
  
  
  METHODS
  RM-800 used to detect contrast sensitivity was adopted to measure MTF of 96 amblyopes (96 eyes) whose visual acuity was corrected to 5.0 and 80 normal controls (80 eyes) at the same age under six interference fringes (IVA=0.06, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The functional values of amblyopes were significantly lower than those of normal subjects in every fringe (P<0.01), especially in medium and high frequency.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For amblyopes, MTF was still abnormal after stopping the treatments.
