Diode laser for retinopathy of prematurity--early outcome.

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

Diode laser ablation for threshold retinopathy of prematurity: short-term structural outcome.

OBJECTIVE To describe short-term structural outcomes and associated ocular complications in premature infants treated with diode laser ablation for retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS The records of all infants who were diagnosed as having threshold retinopathy of prematurity and treated with diode laser therapy at our hospital from January 1, 1992, through December 31, 1996, were retrospecti...

Diode laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity: structural and functional outcome.

AIMS The anatomical and functional outcome of 13 babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with binocular indirect ophthalmoscope diode laser photocoagulation was assessed. METHODS Thirteen babies (25 eyes) at median postmenstrual age (PMA) 25.5 weeks and median birth weight 725 g were treated with binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO) diode laser photocoagulation when threshold ...

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...

Longer-term visual outcome of eyes with retinopathy of prematurity treated with cryotherapy or diode laser.

AIMS Visual outcome of 66 eyes in 37 patients who had undergone treatment with either cryotherapy or diode laser for threshold retinopathy of prematurity was assessed. METHODS 17 patients, representing 30 eyes treated with cryotherapy, were examined at between 56 and 98 months corrected age (median 68 months). 20 patients representing 36 eyes treated with diode laser, were examined at between...
