Abstract：Amblyopia is a developmental visual impairment caused by abnormal visual experience during a critical period, which results in lower best corrected visual acuity of one or both eyes than that of normal children of the corresponding age, without obvious organic lesions in the eye. It is generally believed that the pathogenesis of amblyopia is mainly located in the visual cortex. In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) as an advanced in vivo imaging technology has encouraged a great deal of research on the morphological structure of retina, and has also been applied to the research field of amblyopia. Different research groups have successively reported the findings of structural changes in the retina and choroid in the amblyopic eye by OCT technology. Here we will review these new progresses.
