Overview

Comparative analysis reveals altered retinal structure and ocular shape in children with ROP, indicating a need for targeted treatments.

Key Points

  • The mean foveal thickness in treated ROP eyes is significantly thicker than in control eyes, pointing to notable ocular changes.
  • The foveal avascular zone in treated ROP eyes is significantly smaller compared to full-term controls, suggesting structural retinal adaptation.
  • Widefield optical coherence tomography and swept-source OCT were used to investigate retinal characteristics in children with treated ROP.
  • Understanding these ocular changes may enable better-targeted treatments for improved visual function in affected children.
