Myopia of prematurity: nature, nurture, or disease?
Recent clinical research has shown that the degree of myopia is significantly less following laser therapy when compared with cryotherapy for severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). 2 This important finding is confirmed by Laws et al in this issue of the BJO (p 12). While the associations of prematurity, ROP, and myopia are well known, they are not precisely defined and mechanisms are even les...
متن کاملMyopia in premature babies with and without retinopathy of prematurity.
One hundred and fifty-five premature infants weighing 600-2000 g were followed up during 1974-80 for the presence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and for the existence of myopia. 50% of the premature infants who had ROP were myopic, while only 16% myopic premature infants were found among those who did not have ROP. There was a positive correlation between the degree of myopia and the sever...
متن کاملThe course of myopia in children with mild retinopathy of prematurity
The courses of spherical equivalent in patients (n = 62) who had mild, non-cicatricial retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and in those without a history of ROP (n = 25) were modeled as a linear function of age; an exponential model was also considered. A few (n = 5) without ROP have abnormal courses characterized by hyperopia in early infancy; none have poor acuity. Although the majority of pati...
متن کاملMyopia, 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...
متن کاملInfluence of laser versus lens-sparing vitrectomy on myopia in children with retinopathy of prematurity
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the refractive error outcomes in the eyes of premature babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who underwent laser plus lens-sparing vitrectomy (LSV) in one eye and laser alone in the fellow eye. METHODS This is a retrospective study. Fourteen babies with Stage 4A of ROP or worse who underwent laser plus LSV in one eye (Group 1) and laser a...
