MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641062339 A) filed by Adichunchanagiri University; and Adichunchanagiri Institute Of Medical Sciences, Mandya, Karnataka, on May 16, for 'assessment of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and macular parameters in cases of unilateral amblyopia.'
Inventor(s) include Dr Madhurya H. S; and Dr. Shetty Niharika Krishna.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a novel spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) based diagnostic assessment system and method for evaluating structural alterations in the retina of patients with unilateral amblyopia. It specifically measures and compares peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular parameters, and optic nerve head characteristics between the amblyopic eye and the fellow normal eye, providing objective evidence of retinal involvement in this neurodevelopmental condition. The method demonstrates significantly thicker RNFL in superior and inferior quadrants, increased central macular thickness, and subtle optic disc differences in amblyopic eyes, offering a reliable, non-invasive tool for enhanced clinical evaluation and management."
