The values of these tests were compared between the two groups. The independent t test was applied at a confidence level of95%.·RESULTS： The far and near FC amplitudes and far FD amplitudes were lower in the AHP group（the far FC amplitudes： break point 13.6±5.4~△, recovery point 8.7±5.4~△.The near FC amplitudes： break point 14.5 ±7.3~△, recovery point 10. 3 ± 5. 1~△. The far FD amplitudes ： break point3.9±2.7~△, recovery point 2.6±2.3~△） compared with those in the normal group（the far FC amplitudes： break point19.1 ±6.2△, recovery point 12.4 ±4.5~△. The near FC amplitudes： break point 22.3 ±8.0~△, recovery point 16.1 ±5.7~△. The far FD amplitudes： break point 7.0 ±2.1~△,recovery point 4.6 ±1.9~△）. Other tests presented no statistically significant differences.·CONCLUSION： An association between the reduced FC and FD amplitudes and the AHP in children when watching TV is proposed in the study. This kind of AHP is considered to be an anomalous manifestation which appears in a part of puerile patients of fusional vergence dysfunction.展开更多
