    AbstractTo preliminarily explore the correlation between different types and degrees of refractive errors and strabismus, amblyopia, and stereopsis. A retrospective collection was conducted on a total of 145 patients with anisometropia who visited our hospital for strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology from January 2023 to August 2023.Based on the nature of anisometropia in both eyes, it was divided into 4 groups: Farsighted anisometropia (36 cases); myopic anisometropia (38 cases); astigmatic anisometropia (35 cases); mixed anisometropia (36 cases), and 30 children with normal vision were collected. Both groups of subjects underwent routine slit lamp and fundus examinations to exclude other organic eye diseases. The test indexes were: visual acuity, diopter, strabismus, far-stereoscopic vision, near-stereoscopic Titmus, and random static zero-order stereoscopic vision. The results of this study showed that compared with the normal control group, the incidence of strabismus was higher in the anisometropia group. When the refractive error was ≥1.00D, the far stereopsis and random dot static 0-order stereopsis in the anisometropia group decreased more significantly, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P < .05). Far-sighted and mixed astigmatism were more prone to amblyopia than myopia and regular astigmatism (P < .05). However, there was no statistical difference in near stereopsis Titmus between the anisometropia group and the control group (P > .05). Children with anisometropia are more likely to have strabismus, stereopsis and amblyopia than normal children.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
