Objective To study the effect of levodopa (L-dopa) on monocular amblyopic children using chromatic pattern visual evoked potentials and FM 100-hue tests; to assess the role of levadopa on possible color vision recovery. Methods This was a prospective randomized controlled study. Fifty-five research candidates (110 eyes), ranging in age from 5 to 12 years, who were diagnosed with monocular amblyopia were randomly selected for the project from January 2014 to February 2015 at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. The children were randomly divided into a control group of 27 cases (54 eyes) and a treatment group of 28 cases (56 eyes). The healthy eye of both groups was covered. The control group was treated with spectacles and the treatment group was treated with levodopa. Binocular visual acuity, refractive state, FM 100-hue color sorting and chromatic pattern visual evoked potentials (CP-VEP) were used for testing. The data was analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software, including an independent-samples t test and Spearman rank correlation. Results ①There was a negative correlation between the visual acuity of the amblyopic eye and (r=-0.298, P<0.05). The confusion axis in the amblyopic patients distributed mainly in the blue and yellow sectors. ②There were no significant differences in the narrow time frame of P100 latencies between the L-dopa treatment group and the control group, except for the test based on red-gray (t=2.258, P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the increase of N75-P100 amplitudes, except for the tests based on black-white (t=2.642, P<0.05), red-gray (t=2.861, P<0.01), green-gray (t=2.526, P<0.05), and red-green (t=2.281, P<0.05). ③Excluding the effect of visual acuity on the CP-VEP, there were no significant differences in the narrow time frame of P100 latencies between the L-dopa treatment group and control group, except for the tests based on red-gray (t=2.113, P<0.05) and green-gray (t=2.085, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the increase of N75-P100 amplitudes between the two groups, except for the tests based on black-white (t=2.531, P<0.05), green-gray (t=2.229, P<0.05) and red-green (t=2.374, P<0.05). Conclusion There is a close relationship between CP-VEP latency and the amplitude of the change and the therapeutic effect when taking levodopa. Levodopa can improve partial color vision, but the specific mechanism is not clear.
