Comparison of foveal thickness in preschool children with a history of retinopathy of prematurity and laser photocoagulation or anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment: A prospective, longitudinal study
British Journal of Ophthalmology Oct 17, 2020
Lee YS, Teh WM, Tseng HJ, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for determining longitudinal differences in foveal thickness in preschool-aged patients with or without a history of type I retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The study included 201 eyes, including 32 laser±intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB)-treated eyes, 37 IVB-treated eyes, 14 spontaneously regressed ROP eyes, and 118 age-matched controls. There was no difference in fovea thickness in laser ±IVB-treated, IVB-treated, regressed ROP and preterm eyes after gestational age adjustment. In preschool-aged children over a 1.5-year follow-up period, the whole and outer foveal thicknesses increased with time, but the inner foveal thickness remained unchanged with time.
