Revised Indications for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity

Archives of Ophthalmology · 2003 · Vol. 121(12) · pp. 1684–1684

Abstract

Early treatment of high-risk prethreshold ROP significantly reduced unfavorable outcomes to a clinically important degree. Additional analyses led to modified recommendations for the use of peripheral retinal ablation in eyes with ROP. Long-term follow-up is being conducted to learn whether the benefits noted in the first year after birth will persist into childhood.
