Abstract
Study of the Biological Developmental Characteristics of the Eye in Children After Laser Surgery for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity.
Highlights
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide
It can be seen that the corneal parameters, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness in the anterior segment of children after ROP laser undergo corresponding changes, which are important markers of refractive error [5, 6]
According to the Early Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ETROP) criteria, the ROP severity was staged according to the international classification criteria for ROP
Summary
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of childhood blindness worldwide. Previous studies showed extensive choroidal scarring with retinal atrophy and glial cell proliferation, retinal pigment epithelium loss, choroidal atrophy, and impaired vascularization in the peripheral retina after ROP laser treatment. These histological changes in the fundus may alter and affect the retinal signals required for eye development and/or the scleral reception and response to these signals, delaying or interfering with normal scleral development, resulting in the abnormal development of the anterior segment structures [4]. It can be seen that the corneal parameters, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness in the anterior segment of children after ROP laser undergo corresponding changes, which are important markers of refractive error [5, 6]
