متن کاملVisual outcome in infants with cicatricial retinopathy of prematurity.
Monocular grating acuities of preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were measured using a forced-choice preferential-looking (FPL) procedure. Eyes were independently graded by a retinal specialist and/or pediatric ophthalmologist and assigned to anatomic outcome categories on the basis of cicatricial residua of ROP. Eyes assigned to the normal/regressed and peripheral retinal ch...
