Abstract :

Screening Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is intended for all infants with birthweight of 1500 grams or gestational age of 28 weeks, and to infants with birthweight of more than 1500 gram with unstable condition. The procedure is carried out 4-6 weeks after delivery of 31-33 weeks after conception. Treatment is provided prior to 72 hours after the diagnosis was established as threshold disease (American Academy of Pediatrics and Strabismus, American Academy of Ophthalmology). The treatment was done with laser or cryotherapy for stage III + threshold in order to maximally suppress the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ischemic retinal area. Operative procedurewas carried out for vitroretinal anatomic repair in stage IV and V.
