Overview

Comprehensive review highlights persistent avascular retina risks in retinopathy of prematurity patients, suggesting potential treatments.

Key Points

  • Persistent avascular retina (PAR) is common in children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), especially after anti-VEGF therapy.
  • Emerging studies indicate PAR may lead to late complications such as retinal detachment and breaks.
  • The review synthesizes insights on PAR's prevalence and pathophysiology, emphasizing its management challenges.
  • Current treatments for PAR, including considerations for laser therapy, are inconsistent, underscoring the need for standard protocols.
