Fluorescein angiography, persistent avascular retina, retinal vascularization, retinopathy of prematurity, spontaneously regressed retinopathy
This retrospective study examined fluorescein angiography (FA) images of 162 eyes of 81 treatment-naive infants with retinal vascular immaturity and persistent avascular retina (PAR) despite exceeding postmenstrual age of 60 weeks. Disc diameter (DD), optic disc-to-fovea distance (FD), the length...

Premature infant, intravitreal bevacizumab injection (IVB), refractive error, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
The authors aimed to compare refractive results of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injection in premature neonates with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) versus infants with spontaneous regression of ROP. The study included 87 infants (174 eyes). Group 1 included 38 infants (76...

Biometry, intravitreal injection, refraction, retinopathy of prematurity
The relationship between refractive outcomes and biometric parameters were evaluated following intravitreal Bevacizumab (IVB) monotherapy. Sixty-three infants were grouped into 1) infants treated with VB monotherapy for ROP (six with zone 1 and eight with posterior zone II retinopathy of...

This review article describes the pathophysiology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The authors start by introducing the condition and its incidence. There is extensive information on the pathophysiology mechanisms involved in the condition to include normal and pathological retinal development....
