Objective To investigate the characteristic of the multifocal visual evoked potentials(MVEP)and the visual function across the visual field in anisometropic amblyopes and isometropic amblyopes. Methods MVEP from 32 anisometropic amblyopic eyes and 31 control eyes were tested. Results In anisometropic amblyopic eyes,the latencies of MVEP were significantly prolonged．The amplitudes of MVEP were significantly attenuated in the central region of the visual field,and these phenomena gradually reduced with the increase of the eccentricity． Conclusion The visual function of anisometropic amblyopic eyes is reduced more significantly in the central region than in the peripheral region of the visual field.
