Cross-sectional study characterizes retinal microvascular loss in adults with retinopathy of prematurity, indicating long-term vascular alterations.

To characterize retinal and choroidal vasculature in adults with a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Cross-sectional comparison of adults with ROP and full-term controls using OCTA scans.
Quantification of vessel density and other metrics in capillary plexuses.
Linear mixed-effects models analyzed group differences, and a secondary analysis compared treated vs untreated ROP eyes.
ROP eyes had significantly lower vessel density and skeletonized density across all layers (P < .05).
Foveal avascular zone metrics were smaller in ROP eyes (P < .05).
Treated ROP eyes had lower vessel density and skeletonized density compared to untreated eyes (P < .05).

Ploumi et al. (2026) studied this question.
