Abstract
Laser photocoagulation can still be considered the gold standard for treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy has increasingly become an important option that plays a significant role in the treatment of ROP. Major clinical trials have been published regarding the anti-VEGF use in ROP, along with multiple other studies looking into the different agents, doses, techniques, and possible complications. Anti-VEGF therapies can be considered as a safe and effective option for managing ROP. More longitudinal randomized clinical trials are necessary to evaluate the preferred treatment agent, the appropriate dose, best follow-up protocol, and the long-term ocular and systemic outcomes following treatment.
