670nm Photobiomodulation as a Novel Protection against Retinopathy of Prematurity: Evidence from Oxygen Induced Retinopathy Models

INTRODUCTION To investigate the validity of using 670nm red light as a preventative treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity in two animal models of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). MATERIALS AND METHODS During and post exposure to hyperoxia, C57BL/6J mice or Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 670 nm light for 3 minutes a day (9J/cm²). Whole mounted retinas were investigated for evidence of...

Retinopathy of prematurity: incidence and treatment.

The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity in infants with a birthweight less than or equal to 2500 g admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between 1977 and 1983 was 20% of all survivors. There was a reciprocal relation between birthweight and the incidence of the disease, with an incidence of 68% in infants weighing less than or equal to 1000 g at birth. Cryotherapy of the avasc...
