Article Synopsis
  • A new technique called Camera-Assisted Laser photocoagulation and Cryotherapy of the Retina (CALCR) is introduced for treating retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using the RetCam 3 digital imaging system.
  • A study from Nov 2011 to Oct 2013 involved 113 infants diagnosed with high-risk prethreshold ROP, where CALCR was applied to 23 infants under general anesthesia with no serious complications.
  • The CALCR technique enhances treatment precision by providing high-resolution images of the retina, enabling better visualization, comparison of retinal conditions, and reducing the risk of damaging healthy tissue.
