PHTHISIS BULBI AFTER LENSECTOMY IN RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY EYES PREVIOUSLY TREATED WITH LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION

The course of diabetic retinopathy following cataract surgery in eyes previously treated by laser photocoagulation.

The course of diabetic retinopathy following extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in eyes previously treated by laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy was retrospectively studied in 33 eyes (33 patients). In 20 eyes (61%) there was no change in the retinal status postoperatively. In 13 (39%) there was postoperative progression of diabetic retinopat...

[Diode laser photocoagulation of retinopathy of prematurity].

OBJECTIVE To describe diode laser photocoagulation results in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in our hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD Retrospective cross-sectional study based on clinical histories of the premature infants treated during the period from 2004 to 2008. RESULTS In the treated group we found a predominance of pre-threshold retinopathy versus threshold retinopathy (84.35% vs 15.65...

Transpupillary Diode Laser Retinal Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Experience in Southern Iran

Refractive Error in Patients with Retinopathy of Prematurity after Laser Photocoagulation or Bevacizumab Monotherapy.

PURPOSE To evaluate the refractive development of premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after treatment with laser photocoagulation or intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB). METHODS The medical records of patients with ROP treated between 2003 and 2012 who underwent yearly follow-ups were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with residual ROP abnormalities were excluded....

Longer-term visual outcome of eyes with retinopathy of prematurity treated with cryotherapy or diode laser.

AIMS Visual outcome of 66 eyes in 37 patients who had undergone treatment with either cryotherapy or diode laser for threshold retinopathy of prematurity was assessed. METHODS 17 patients, representing 30 eyes treated with cryotherapy, were examined at between 56 and 98 months corrected age (median 68 months). 20 patients representing 36 eyes treated with diode laser, were examined at between...
