Retinopathy of prematurity: clinical implications of retinal development.

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

The Incidence Rate of Retinopathy of Prematurity and Related Risk Factors: a Study on premature neonates hospitalized in two hospitals in Sari, Iran, 2014-2015

Background & Aims: Retinopathy OF prematurity (ROP) is a developmental disorder of retinal vessels in premature neonates. In recent years, because of advances in the care of neonates hospitalized in equipped Intensive care units, retinopathy of prematurity has become a major cause of blindness in those who are survived. This study assessed the incidence and severity of retinopathy and related r...

Efficacy of wide-field digital retinal imaging for retinopathy of prematurity screening.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the efficacy of wide-field digital retinal imaging for retinopathy of prematurity screening. DESIGN Retrospective study in a quaternary public neonatal intensive care unit. PARTICIPANTS A total of 108 premature infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS Retrospective chart and photo review were performed on participants screened by both serial wide-fie...

Simultaneous Fluorescein Angiography and Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Correlate Retinal Thickness Changes to Vascular Abnormalities in an In Vivo Mouse Model of Retinopathy of Prematurity

BACKGROUND Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition of abnormal retinal vascular development (RVD) in premature infants. Fluorescein angiography (FA) has depicted phases (early, mid, late, and mature) of RVD in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice. We sought to establish the relationship between retinal structural and vascular changes using simultaneous FA and spectral domain optical co...

Effect of multisensory stimulation on oxygen saturation in premature infants during eye examination

Background: Eye examination for screening of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), as a painful procedure, causes physiological changes in premature infants. Multisensory stimulation is a non-pharmacological analgesic method which affects physiological measures during painful procedures. Aim: To determine the effect of multisensory stimulation on oxygen saturation in premature infants during eye ex...

Retinopathy of Prematurity - Risk Factors for Evolution

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder characterised by abnormal retinal vascular development, and several risk factors are involved. The condition may be in mild form or it may result in retinal detachment which may eventually cause blindness. The management of the risk factors involved in the disease etiopathogenesis and the treatment by laser photocoagulation performed in early stage...
