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

Comparison of treatment results for retinopathy of prematurity by diode laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy – four years of observation

Background: The aim of the study was to compare functional and structural outcomes of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity with diode laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy. Materials and methods: We examined 111 children aged 4 years, treated for retinopathy of prematurity by transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy. Both functional (visual acuity, orthoptic status) and s...

Myopia, visual acuity and strabismus in the long term following treatment of retinopathy of prematurity.

The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the long-term ophthalmological outcome in children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who were treated for threshold disease with indirect laser photocoagulation. 107 eyes of 56 patients with threshold ROP treated with indirect laser photocoagulation and 202 eyes of 101 control patients with spontaneously regressed ROP were included. Fix...

Trends in the management of stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity.

AIMS/BACKGROUND The clinical outcome of 66 consecutive infants with stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is reported. METHODS Thirty four infants (64 eyes) were treated with cryotherapy and 32 infants (59 eyes) underwent laser photocoagulation. RESULTS Infants with anterior-mid zone II ROP had a high rate of disease regression whether treated by cryotherapy or laser photocoagulation. In...
